There is no doubt that some other organizations show more track time per run group on the schedule. However, we find that of that track time disappears to problems and yellow flags. SVRA has done a good job keeping us on the track and under green flag conditions. That matters to us, because 1 lap of green flag racing followed by 8 laps of yellow flag parade laps and then being pulled off the track early is not worth our time or wear on the car. We see that a lot with another organization we run.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We think that the SVRA offering to Triumphs at the Glen is a very nice offer and we are making every effort to get it on our calendar.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We are looking forward to seeing the SVRA Team in 2019.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Paul Ricco<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 1, 2018, at 12:43 PM, Rick Parent via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class=""><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1541086135598_18562" class=""><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1541086135598_18695" class="">Ok guys, lets not over think this, here is the truth on this matter.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1541086135598_18562" class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1541086135598_18562" dir="ltr" class=""><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1541086135598_18818" class="">Its no secret that SVRA has haters out there and they are all entitled to their opinion, I don't care for it personally but I do celebrate the fact we live in a free country so hate away if you must.

am excited to tell you about a brand new program that is being launched
for SVRA’s 2019 race season. Since acquiring SVRA, it has been my goal
to fund SVRA through sponsorships and engaging spectators, not just by
the entry fees paid by our racers. This year we are taking a big step
with the launch of our Reunion Program.</span></div><div class="yiv3828923819gmail-m_7404848736719870248size-14" style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:0px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;"><span class="yiv3828923819gmail-m_7404848736719870248font-sans-serif">At
each of our SVRA events, we will host a Featured Marque or Featured
Group. All hosted participants will receive special event entitlements
including, “<strong class="">Free Entry</strong>” into the Sprint race. Each
hosted entrant will run two sessions on Friday and Saturday with their
normal SVRA run group and a Sunday 30 minute Reunion Race and Fan Walk.
Each feature entrant will receive a Reunion Group photo and Hero Cards
to pass out to kids so they can collect them and learn about your car.
The Feature Marque/Group will also be highlighted in the event program
and on the poster. We really are serious about you being the featured
show for our spectators.</span></div><div class="yiv3828923819gmail-m_7404848736719870248size-14" style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:0px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;"><span class="yiv3828923819gmail-m_7404848736719870248font-sans-serif">For
the US Vintage Grand Prix, we are hosting an Triumph Reunion. Please
click the link below to enter the race. You will be responsible for the
optional activities like; the test day, enduro and dinner tickets. The
Sprint race will cost $100 but we will issue a $100* dollar check to
each entrant that takes the green flag in Sunday's Triumph Reunion race.
This is a first step at being able to offer free entry to our featured
groups. It's my hope that someday, SVRA will be able to offer free entry
to several race groups on the same weekend.</span></div>
