<div dir="ltr">Ah, The Kastner Cup at Heartland Park.</div>
<div dir="ltr">One of my favorite racing weekends of all time, a real treat.</div>
<div dir="ltr">My first Kastner Cup.</div>
<div dir="ltr">I barely made it to the track. I had stayed up for days straight trying to get my car ready. Upon arrival I was greeted with the warmth and friendship of several the Great Triumph hero’s I had, until then, only read about in the funny pages.</div>
<div dir="ltr">My car broke in the first session.</div>
<div dir="ltr">A spectator, a GT6 guy named Brad brought me a moss covered barn find transmission that we installed under the Kansas moonlight.</div>
<div dir="ltr">The next day I was racing again.</div>
<div dir="ltr">I have this distinct memory of Sam Halkias screaming up behind me in the Catawamba Marina TR6. Looking back through my wink mirror he waved, paused and signaled to me with facial expressions and hand signals that only us auto racers could understand
saying “nice job little buddy, here I come; I’m now going to fly by you on your left side”.</div>
<div dir="ltr">We partied, raced, bought an Ambro body and finished our first Kastner Cup there in Heartland Park.</div>
<div dir="ltr">When I got home, there it was, a long and personal email from Kas Kastner…praising me, my dedication, the sound of my car, my driving style, and lap by lap list of how many tenths of second I was improving each lap in a segment of the track where
he was taking “splits”.</div>
<div dir="ltr">I couldn’t believe it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">It was the start of what Kas called our “unique kinship”</div>
<div dir="ltr">He sure had a nice way of motivating people.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Godspeed old pals.</div>
