[TR] TTA Charity Drive, VTR and Triumphest / North American Triumph Challenge 2009

[Glenn A. Merrell - TSN]

Hi All,

As you may know, Triumphest / North American Triumph Challenge 2009 in 
San Luis Obispo California is the completion of this epic first of a 
kind drive in any Triumph, possibly for any car.  This completion is, by 
the countdown clock on the Triumph site 
http://www.vtr-triumphest-2009.com/  about 26 days as of this posting.

As John heads toward Calgary Canada and his drive becomes overall 
shorter in the TTA Stag as he nears the completion point, I am very 
pleased to learn tonight that the VTR will once again support this drive 
by having John and Liz Macartney as their Honored VIP Guests at 
Triumphest / NATC 2009.  So, registration request resolved!!

On behalf of John and Liz Macartney, and as the Coordinator of the 
Triumph Trans America Charity Drive 2009, I would like to express my 
sincere thanks to the VTR Board for this generous response, and all the 
support along this historic drive.

Speaking about epic drives - and not to discount in the least the pretty 
darn good ones this drive has seen to date, but Triumph Travelers Sports 
Car Club in the San Francisco Bay area are planning a Gran Finale drive 
down 1A from Monterey to SLO on the morning of 30th of September.  What 
a fitting finale for TTA and a great kickoff for Triumphest / NATC 2009!!
All in the planning stages right now, but this will be one of the great 
drives of this year covering over 150 miles of California coastal drive 
down the famous California Scenic Highway 1A. 
If you are driving out to Triumphest from anywhere north, east, or close 
from the south, THIS is the drive you need to meet up with to complete 
your arrival to SLO.  You have 26 days to complete your route planning 
to include this route.
Miss it,  and you will be hearing everyone else talking about how 
excellent it WAS ... all during the show.

BTW, some rooms are sporadically coming available in the booked host 
hotel and overflow, so check with the host club organizers on a regular 
basis and don't forget to get your registration in NOW!
And regalia orders must be received by NOON FRIDAY the 4th of 
September!  So get your orders in and PAID to the host club NOW!

Got more time?  Met up with John in Western Canada, Vancouver, 
Washington, Oregon and take the 1A drive of a lifetime with the other 
great Pacific Coast Triumph / VTR clubs!  Just PLEASE, make your own 
arrangements, this is not an organized

Stay tuned!  Gran Finale details will be posted on the TTA web site and 
Triumph lists soon!
