<div> <font size="2">Joe- Thanks for the information. I did not see Henry's email with reference to the Quiet Birdmen. Was it a recent email? I have to say I am somewhat embarrassed to never having heard of the QB Club, being that I come from an dedicated aviation family (dad, brother, uncle, 3 nephews, all either fighter, military or airline pilots). It is a very interesting club, with an amazing roster! Thanks for sharing.-- Jay De Pol</font><br>

<div dir="ltr">If you read Henry Frye’s comments, which included a reference to “the quiet horsemen”, here is the story:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Very early on, Mordy Dunst and I discussed the image we wanted to present. I likened it to be like The Quiet Birdmen. Low key, under the radar, while not being exclusive or elitist.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For the most part we have succeeded in being that.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">With the Kastner Cup Series, that makes being low key hard to do. But I still like the concept of the “QBs”. Please read the the Wikipedia definition and history of the QBs. It is entertaining, and you will note, that the QBs have evolved over the years, just as we have.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">However, we remain a highly successful “non-organization”. They said it couldn’t be done. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So there you have it: we are the QBs of the Triumph Racing World. Something to be proud of, methinks.<br>
