[TR] TTA STTAG summits Pikes Peak, 14110 feel above sea level

[Glenn A. Merrell - TSN]

Hello All,
Today 19 August 2009, John Macartney driving the TTA STTAG known as 
"Uncle Jack", lead by Glenn Merrell driving a 1973 Stag with Paul Lugo 
riding in the passenger seat, reached the 14110 foot (14115 feet in 
actuality)  summit of Pikes Peak Colorado at approximately 10:00 am 
Mountain time.

The STTAG behaved perfectly (actually both Stags performed admirably), 
the temperature needle never reaching midrange, the ZS carburetors 
providing constant power band all the way to the top of the Colorado 14er.
This was after a hot drive from Amarillo to Raton NM  for John the day 
before, then a drive from Raton NM to Colorado Springs for a night over. 
A pleasurable change was dry temperatures in the 50's F as opposed to  
lows of 80's.  I'll get some photos up on FLICKR in the next day or two.

John and the TTA Stag are now in Lafayette Colorado where the 6000 mile 
service list is being performed right around 8000 miles completed.

Next event is a Meet and Greet with British Motoring Club of Northern 
Colorado, Sunday the 23rd of August.
If you are a Colorado British Car enthusiast, come on by!!

We need caravaners to travel with John and the STTAG from Ft. Collins to 
Omaha the 24th - 26th with a stop over at Pioneer Village near Kearney 
NE the 24th.  If you have never been to Pioneer Village, you are missing 
a huge collection of cars, tractors, airplanes, and all sorts of 
Americana history.

Cheers!
