Paul was a very tall man and required a very tall rollbar in the car, which may have saved Tom from injury.

That area of Ohio is very familiar to me and I?ve spent a LOT of time around there over the past 40 years. So, I have to suggest/recommend Marietta as the overnight stop. Smaller town, but still a college town. Stay at the Lafayette Hotel and be with easy walking distance of a micro-brewery & restaurant, as well as several other bars & restaurants. Plenty of great roads in very close proximity to Marietta and pretty much zero traffic to contend with to get to them. We could run 555 from Zanesville to it?s end, at route 7. Then, west on 7 for a few miles, to Tuppers Plains. From there, 639(?) twists and plunges down to the (Ohio) river, then we could run rt. 124 back up almost to Marietta. I need to dig my DeLorme Atlas of Ohio out to be sure of all the route numbers. Athens is a bit too ?busy? and ?woke? for me. Marietta is still a small ?river town? and seems to run at a more relaxed pace. And there is a lot to be said for being able to walk between our hotel and a brewery, bars, restaurants, etc. rather than try to drive in an unfamiliar town. Whatever you guys decide to do, I?m sure it will be great fun and I hope my work schedule will let me join you.

Here?s my plan. We can all meet in Zanesville at 11:00 am on the 18th and run 555 as far south as we want. I need to study the map a bit closer. Maybe Mapman aka Bruce can look at the route in detail with any suggestions as we will stay in Athens, OH overnight. Athens is a college town so it must have some decent bars for our after run Beer and Bull on the 18th. 555 does not go into Athens but we can cut off and go through the Wayne National Forest to Athens. On the 19th we can run north again using back roads of our choosing to get home. Likely some good routes north or run 555 for return. That will get planned. As for accommodations; there are several Motels in Athens and I?ll do more research on those once a participation count is firmed up.

The Kastner Cup will occur on July 15-17, 2022 at the PVGP Historic Races at the Pittsburgh International Race Complex (Pitt Race - www.pittrace.com). Pitt Race is located in Wampum PA on a 427 acre road race and karting facility located 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The road course is 2.8 miles in length, with 19 turns, a 36 foot-wide racing surface, and 110 feet of elevation change. The track is fast and challenging with extensive runoff areas, two long straights, and acres of paved paddocks. The PVGP Historic Race schedule will include practice and qualifying on Friday July 15th, a qualifying race and the Kastner Cup Race on Saturday, July 16th, and the Kastner Cup Reunion Race on Sunday July 17th. A test and tune day is available on Thursday July 14th. The following weekend, the Grand Prix returns to race through Pittsburgh?s beautiful Schenley Park. Participants in the Kastner Cup have the option to run both the PVGP Historics and PVGP in Schenley Park. Racers who enter both weekends may store race car trailers at the PittRace facility. 2022 will mark the 20th running of the Kastner Cup. The race will celebrate the 70th year of Triumph sports car in competition. The Kastner Cup was named in recognition of the career accomplishment and legacy of R.W. "Kas" Kastner who passed away on April 11, 2021 at the age of 92. Kas Kastner was one of the most influential individuals responsible for the racing success of Triumph sports cars from the late 1950?s through 1970 and beyond. To this day, his series of Competition Preparation Manuals are a must read for competitors in Triumph sports cars. Later in his career, Kastner directed the Nissan IMSA GTP team that won the manufacturers? championship three years in a row and the drivers? championship four years in a row; a remarkable achievement. The Kastner Cup has become a major event on the vintage racing calendar for British car fans. The race is held at a different track each year to provide Triumph racers across the country a chance to compete for the Cup. Open to race prepared Triumph powered cars, the Kastner Cup is awarded to one competitor based on the following criteria: ? 50% for the competitive results on the race track during the event (not necessarily the winner) ? 25% for the presentation of the car ? 25% for the attitude and interest in Vintage racing The 2021 Kastner Cup was awarded to Jeff Quick of Kent Washington. Mr. Quick drove his beautiful 1967 TR4A. He was also awarded the Peggy Kastner Performance Award in the TR4 and TR4A Class. The Kastner Cup is organized by members of the Friends of Triumph (FOT). FOT is a group of vintage racers dedicated to preserving the racing heritage of the Triumph marque. Campaigning these automobiles on the track is at the essence of why FOT was organized. A 2022 Kastner Cup Race Committee is being assembled and volunteers are being recruited. To date, Curt Johnston will be the Committee Chair, Joe Alexander will be the Grand Marshal, and FOT members include Shawn Frank and John Linney. For more information about the Committee, contact Curt Johnston at: curt.johnston at comcast.net. The Friends of Triumph would like to acknowledge the tremendous support provided by the 2021 sponsors. Moss Motors Ltd. was the Presenting Sponsor of the Kastner Cup on July 23-25, 2021 at Portland International Raceway (PIR).
