<br>At the USVGP at Watkins Glen in 2019, I was standing on the podium for “big Triumph 4 cylinders” along with John Styduhar, when John Hasty was making his way up. John S gave me a nudge, and said, give John a hand onto the podium! <div><br></div><div>So, I helped John Hasty up, and the 3 of us enjoyed the moment. I had not met John Hasty before that, but every time I saw him afterwards, without fail, he always thanked me for helping him up onto the podium that day! Those thanks should belong with John S, in reality… but I was happy to help “lend a hand” and he was ever so thankful. He really had that car flying, blowing by me hitting overdrive coming out of the toe of the boot, his speed defying age for sure. Godspeed, John!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dave Gott<br><br><div class="yahoo-signature" style=""><a style="font-size:12px" href="https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=nativeplacement&c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_Internal_EmailSignature&af_sub1=Acquisition&af_sub2=Global_YMktg&af_sub3=&af_sub4=100000604&af_sub5=EmailSignature__Static_">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br></div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(132, 115, 255); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Thursday, January 23, 2025, 11:54 AM, Larry Young via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail" style=""><div id="yiv3525255087"><div>
I met John when he contacted me about my TR3A racer. I think it was
2008. He said he found it on something like the 10 screen during a
google search. He was already in his 70s. I wasn't sure he was a
real "Triumph guy" (after all he had owned a Porsche). As it turned
out, he was a very enthusiastic and durable Triumph racer, excellent
driver, and continued the transformation of that car.<br clear="none">

<div>John was quite the steward of his cars. He bought his first
yellow TR3 from Larry Young. It was my first race car and I
had sold it in 2000 to another guy in our club. Larry bought
from him for the 2003 season and started improving it
immediately. Larry raced with us for around 5 years, long
enough to use his engineering background to become a camshaft
"master". After he couldn't race anymore he sold the car to
John in what might have been in 2008 or 2009. When I saw the
car again at the first Pitt Race K Cup I almost didn't
recognize it, it was so much better prepared. It later met its
end and I think John built another.</div>

just found out that a couple months back we lost our resident

octogenarian, John Hasty. Those of us who race the eastern
part of the <br clear="none">
States have probably met him at the track, piloting a yellow
TR3. John <br clear="none">
was always great fun to chat with, his extensive background in
<br clear="none">
motorcycle racing usually came up in some way or another.
After "aging <br clear="none">
out" on two wheels he decided it would be a better idea to
race on four <br clear="none">
wheels and was still on track with us last year at the age of
88 years <br clear="none">
young! At the spring race at VIR I see he was still right in

finishing 12th out of 29 runners in the Saturday race.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Trying to remember when John arrived in the scene, I searched
my <br clear="none">
archives. In 2011, Don Marshall nominated John and forwarded
this <br clear="none">
introduction to the FOT.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
"I've been into racing most anything that has a motor and
wheels since <br clear="none">
the 40's when in high school building hot rods. Took off a few
years <br clear="none">
while in college, but beginning in 1959 bought my first sports
car, an <br clear="none">
Austin Healy 3000 w/o a jump seat, next a MGB, then a Porsche
912, then <br clear="none">
a Merc 280SL, now an Alfa Spider for the street and my TR3A
for the <br clear="none">
track. Crewed for a friend in the 60's with a bug-eye sprite
in SCCA <br clear="none">
events then got into motorcycles. I road motorcycle
road-racers for <br clear="none">
about 10 years and when I retired from riding, built and tuned
250cc GP <br clear="none">
road-racers with a rider on the AMA pro circuit for about 7
years. We <br clear="none">
did pretty well, never finished worse than 5th. in overall
standings and <br clear="none">
won the national<br clear="none">
championship in 1990. My good friend Ceasar Cone got me back
into sports <br clear="none">
car racing and when it came time to buy a car I decided that
if I was <br clear="none">
going vintage racing I wanted a truly vintage car and I think
the TR3A <br clear="none">
is a perfect truly vintage car."<br clear="none">

Our kind of people, no doubt. You will be missed, my friend...<br clear="none">
