[TR] TR3 racing at Sonoma video

[DAVE HOGYE]

Hi Frank,
Thanks for watching and writing.  To bad we didn't meet at Sonoma.  That weekend being the Charity Challenge, invites people to make a donation to Speedway Children Charities, and get a ride in a car of their choice.  It would have been a great time to get on track as a passenger.  Minimum donation of $75 get three laps.  Drivers will go as fast as you like.  I didn't sign up this year, wanting to save the car, engine and tires.    
I very much enjoy racing at Sonoma.  It's a great track.  
Dave and his TR2 were an early inspiration to me when I was building my car and now we are good friends.  Yes, his car has disk brakes all around as per the factory LeMan cars.  We always share paddock space and Jim Alder with his XK120 is usually with us too.  Jim has been racing his Jag for 37 years and is well know for being the only guy that "always" drives his car to the track from his home in Reno.  I think he said 145 races now.  Greg Powell with his very fast Morgan and a new Spitfire driver also joined us in the paddock.  It was a really nice group and we had a great time throughout the weekend.  Dave's wife Laura provided excellent gourmet style meals for us all both Saturday and Sunday.  
Looking forward to next season,
Dave H.
