<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:#333333;" class="default-style"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I hope you are all doing well and your plans for next season are coming together. I wanted to reach out before the holidays to check in about next year's Cup race. First - thanks to those of you that have registered so far. We have 14 entries so far with most of them coming in from outside of the Midwest. That's very encouraging - thanks! </span>

<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:#333333;" class="default-style"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">So we're six and a half months out still but early registration helps us with planning. Just as a reminder, here's the link to register:</span>

<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:#333333;" class="default-style"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">All Triumph entries are automatically entered in the Kastner Cup so there is no extra box to check there. We will be setting up in the North Paddock inside of Turn 14. There is a section of the registration that asks for your paddock preference. Please select North Paddock / Triumph Race Paddock. Road America is letting us organize the Triumph paddock parking ourselves. We will have enough room to accommodate whatever you are towing with including RVs and larger rigs. After the first of the year, we are going to start following up with registered drivers to get some information from each of you to use in a Kastner Cup event guide that we'll be putting together. </span>

Here is a map showing both the car corral location relative to the comp paddock.</span>

We should have the Kastner Cup artwork in the next few weeks and will work on getting posters and other accoutrement (bonus points for a fancy word) together so that we can continue on with fundraiser efforts. As a reminder, anyone interested in helping out with a donation can do so using Gofundme using this link: <a href="https://gofund.me/87c1b0d1">https://gofund.me/87c1b0d1</a>

If you have any questions whatsoever <span style="text-decoration: underline;">please</span> feel free to reach out. As I type this it's -10 degrees outside so July feels a long way off but I know it is going to be here before we know it. We are working hard to get as many former Cup winners on hand as we can so that we can recognize their critical role in the first 20 years of the Kastner Cup and, of course, want as many other Triumph enthusiasts on hand as possible to kick off the next 20 years.

Most importantly, I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season with your loved ones (and your race cars). Stay warm, keep working on those Triumphs, and I hope to see you all next year.
