<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyhow, good luck to all and throw a log on for
me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Cheers, Bill</FONT></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>
