Jeffs car is the epitome of a true Vintage car, built to "the book", 87mm, SUs etc, all Triumph throughout.<br>
Thanks Kas, it works...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Sam Halkias in his TR6 was on the pole, took off from the start, and I never saw him after a few laps. I was gridded 6<sup>th</sup> behind Ken Knight who drove a
great race in his TR4 and moved through the pack to finish 2<sup>nd</sup>! Jason Ostrowski in his GT6 was gridded 3<sup>rd</sup> but I passed him when he slowed up with mechanical issues (sorry for the problem Jason!). Allan Washatco was gridded 2<sup>nd</sup>
in his TR6 and was trying to catch Sam until he spun in T7 and got stuck behind most of the pack. Tony Drews in his TR4 was gridded 4<sup>th.
</sup>I chased him for a number of laps before getting lucky and passing him (T1 I think). All of a sudden I’m in 3<sup>rd</sup> place with Tony and Shawn Alexander on my butt for the rest of the race. I tried to lose them in traffic, but they always came
back to fill my mirrors. There was lots of traffic (31 cars on a 1.9 mile track) and made for some exciting passes (hope I didn’t scare anyone!). Down to the last lap and Tony is still in my mirrors. Entering T7 (last turn) there is a slower car in front
of me. I took the inside line to pass him, but Tony saw an opening and passed him on the outside. Tony had the momentum coming out of the turn and I lost mine when I cut to the inside to make the pass. Next thing I know, Tony is ahead of me on the outside
of the front straight. I was in the right gear, and I pressed the gas pedal as hard as I could, but could not catch Tony before the checkered flag flew. So Tony made it to the podium and I finished 4<sup>th</sup>. GREAT RACE TONY! I can’t wait to see the
video on youtube!!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bill Dentinger for keeping my shoes dry!! The Friday night festivities were special with Bob Jones there to present Kas with his Hall of Fame induction award. Kas could not make the induction ceremony, so Bob picked it up for him when he was there to receive
his. We are honored to have two Triumph guys selected for the induction!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

various Triumph models (Thanks Peggy for my TR3 mug!). Next thing I know, Kas mentioned my name and I was awarded the 15<sup>th</sup> annual K-Cup. I was floored by his choice as I had won it in 2005. I guess after all the years my TR3 is still racing well
enough for Kas to take notice. THANKS KAS! And thanks to Glen Efinger and Terry Stetler for keeping my car in tip top shape!!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
