This plaque was the inspiration for that effort.

It has an amazing history as one might expect in a car that has competed with unexpected success over a 62-year period. I’ll share a synopsis with our group of the technical information that made a car that is essentially a not-particularly-light, not very powerful, rebodied TR3 so competitive over such a long period. <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 15, 2021, at 12:03 PM, Curt Johnston <<a href="mailto:curt.johnston@comcast.net" class="">curt.johnston@comcast.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

</div>I got a nice surprise today, <span dir="auto" class="d2edcug0 qv66sw1b mau55g9w aigsh9s9 iv3no6db fe6kdd0r nxhoafnm hpfvmrgz c8b282yb jq4qci2q ht8s03o8 ik7dh3pa a8c37x1j d3f4x2em b1v8xokw keod5gw0 oi732d6d a3bd9o3v c1et5uql oo9gr5id">a trophy plaque (the middle one) from the Kastner Cup race for "sportsmanship during competition", undoubtedly for giving back the position I gained in the second Triumph race with some chicane chicanery (I cut the chicane on the first lap to avoid a crash) at the end of the race. I appreciate the sentiment, it's a fine way to finish my long run with Peyote, my faithful and amazing race car for 22 great years. Thanks folks. </span>

I’ve started working on the Ambro 001 I bought from Doug Karon. I think it will take me about a year to build it the way I want. I’ll probably race it a few times and then sell it to someone who will drive the wheels off it, as Will Hart, the young racer I sold Peyote to has been doing with Peyote. I think a few more races and he’ll be beating my best times at our West Coast tracks.
