<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm thinking it's time for the left coast. Maybe Thunderhill?
It's a hell of a track, though the surrounding facilities suck. Portland would
be great, the Columbia River Classic is the weekend before this SVRA race
(Memorial day weekend), and it's a high-track time event. Most folks are sick
of racing by the time the Monday races roll around. it also encompasses the
All British Field Meet which a lot of Triumph folks attend as well.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I know I could get SOVREN to roll out the red carpet for FOT since I
helped to give this race a boost a few years ago. The Saturday at-track party
is legenday, an opportunity to get out your vintage duds, and I can commit to
a pretty cool FOT party at Casa Babcock. <BR>

<BR><BR>Then it drove into the paddock hemorrhaging oil from every orifice

the<BR>process. <BR><BR>Then on the start of the Group 3 race my car pulled
me down the inside<BR>line to pass a bunch of guys in turn one, then I
passed the start/finish<BR>line in third overall a couple times. Running way
up there in a SVRA<BR>feature race is something I never thought I would do.
Then the track got<BR>a little slick from rain and I backed off a bit, I
will never be a brave<BR>rain driver. Too much to lose, nothing to gain.
Still finished well, no<BR>complaints there.<BR><BR>There was less attrition
than I expected over the course of the weekend,<BR>at least until Sunday. It
was nice to spend time with our friends<BR>sitting on chairs with a beer in
hand, not under cars requesting<BR>wrenches and sockets. <BR><BR>Many big
names in our sport were there, both past and present, and<BR>getting face
time with them was a real treat. <BR><BR>Congrats to Tony Garmey on winning
the Kastner Cup. This was the third<BR>time I have seen the TR250K on track,
it was always fast. This weekend<BR>it was amazing. During Kas' presentation
of the cup, he said he has not<BR>seen the car go as fast since he ran it at
Sebring in '68. He then<BR>issued a manufacturers recall notice, but I think
Tony is going to take<BR>his chances!<BR><BR>Congrats to Larry Young for the
Bill Ames Award, well deserved. <BR><BR>The Western PA Triumph gang was
there in force, as was a big contingent<BR>of New England Triumph folks. Bob
Lang brought Khartu, his TR6<BR>autocrosser for the folks to enjoy. Dave
Hutchinson drove his pristine<BR>Italia. If I continue to try to mention all
the special cars that came<BR>out to support the event I would miss several,
I don't want to do that.<BR><BR>Many thanks to Jack Woehrle and the rest of
SVRA for treating us Triumph<BR>folks better than we deserved. Jack was
never too far from the Triumph<BR>ghetto, and made sure we got what we
needed.<BR><BR>So, it was a great weekend, sorry if you missed it... Where
to next<BR>year?<BR>_______________________________________________<BR><A
