<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: small">Hey, watch what you
say about goons and Barracudas, I represent that remark! I have a nice '66,
273, 4 speed, and all the options, which were few in those days. It has what
is known as patina, I think; a little bondo, a few dents, but it's a hoot to
drive and gets a lot of comments. And very easy to work on; I used to work on
them in a previous life.</SPAN> </DIV>

<DIV>Well, once again the Alpine winds of the Midwest threaten to start
their blow about this time of year. </DIV>
<DIV>We have one last chance to prove our Triumph worthiness among a field
of cars that also think their Marque is the greatest production car of its
time. </DIV>
<DIV>This event is historically rich in Triumph excellence and defeat.
</DIV>
<DIV>The 46th running should tell a Triumph tale of our region. </DIV>
<DIV>Entry list for the dual 25 lap races (100 miles total)
is somewhat low on the open book end... </DIV>
<DIV>For the vintage race, only Sean Alexander (TR4), myself (GT6+) and
newcomer Alex Amys (GT6+) are entered. </DIV>
<DIV>And my bet is already on my faithful teammate Brian Garcia in his
1967 Plymouth Baracuda . </DIV>
<DIV>Then there is Glade Snodgrass racing his hit or miss Spitfire in
FP racing the 50 lapper. </DIV>
<DIV>Scott Barr will be out in his Spec Racer Ford. </DIV>
<DIV>I was surprised to see no Tony Drews signed up to play.
</DIV>
<DIV>but Rumor has it that another big man won't be a no show.
</DIV>
<DIV>Bill Detinger is flying in from sin city just to see our show. </DIV>
<DIV>Of course it'd really more about his mini Beady Eyed loved
ones going trick or treating and hitting the track for the big
wheel race. </DIV>
<DIV>I suppose its anyone's game. </DIV>
<DIV>Sean has been strong and consistent all year, I'm running a back up
motor in my yellow car; and the young Alex Amys has built a real
looker of a GT6. </DIV>
<DIV>Alex came out to Road America this fall and it was a real treat to
see his fresh GT6. </DIV>
<DIV>He and his dad David have done a wonderful job so far, </DIV>
<DIV>Their spectacular white #84 GT6; gets a high grade cosmetically and is
top notch from an engineering standpoint. </DIV>
<DIV>I hope to show them what a little patina is worth. </DIV>
<DIV>As for Sean, I'm not sure if my old #27 has enough meat on it's bones
to take the top. </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, if you are into Triumphs; can't exactly skip a flat stone
in the ocean, and are not racing this weekend yourself... </DIV>
<DIV>It seems the only reasonable that you head to Blackhawk Farms right
now. </DIV>
<DIV>Beacause= </DIV>
<DIV>A) My awesome daughter Naomi is going for a "3 peat" win in the big
wheel race. </DIV>
<DIV>B) Damndinger rented a garage just to host a wine and cheese party.
</DIV>
<DIV>C) Some goon is racing a Plymouth Barracuda. </DIV>
<DIV>D) Scott Barr is bringing a Magnesium wheel to "White Light" burn on
the Friendly Ghost Racing Bon Fire. </DIV>
<DIV>(yes this is the race where we get really crazy and burn truckloads of
wood and stuffed animals and light up the sky burning all kinds of
nutty melting shit). </DIV>
<DIV>E) The legendary Glade Snodgrass will be racing a spitfire that could
explode at any minute. </DIV>
<DIV>F) Joe Alexander needs to measure the size of your valve cover for his
next Gasket Innovation. </DIV>
<DIV>G) Perhaps a young and Fresh GT6 builder gets corrupted by a bunch
of Mad GT6 hooligans in turn 2. (Yes David and Alex that is an invitation to
paddock near us in the scary side of the track; out in the woods by turn 2)
if you dare. </DIV>
<DIV>H) We party and burn stuff on Saturday... and Race on Sunday.
</DIV>
<DIV> I) What happens at the Looong Race stays at the Looong Race.
</DIV>
<DIV>X) Yep, this is the big one. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you can't make it, just look up into the Midwestern sky at about 8
pm central time on Saturday night. The orange light you see is
our epic campfire.. a symbol of Triumphs Burning everywhere.
</DIV>
<DIV>Godspeed. </DIV>
