<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>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>
