I just received
this email from Cregg Cowan of Triumph Travelers. It'd be
really cool if we
could get a run on Infineon Raceway (the old Sears Point).

Hi Johnnie,
The 2013 combined VTR / Triumphest will be held Oct 2-6, 2013 in the San
Francisco Bay area.
The event hotel is slightly north of the Golden Gate
bridge, and is close to
wine country, the coast, and fantastic roads.
Regards,
Cregg Cowan
