Given the vast unlimited power entrusted in me by the members of the
Vintage Triumph Register ;-), I would like to make this formal. I would
suggest something along the lines of the following:
==========================================================================
PROPOSED, that a "Competition" class be added to the list of minimum
Concours classes to be offered at the Vintage Triumph Register National
Convention. Competition cars would be defined as any Triumph-bodied and/or
Triumph-engined vehicle built or developed primarily for competition, such
as road race, hillclimb, solo, rallye or other timed events. Said vehicle
need NOT be legal for street use.
==========================================================================
It seems a bit ironic to have to make such a "formal" proposal first in
front of such a wonderfully informal group as FOT, but I suspect this
might be the best approach. It's certainly long overdue, IMHO.
Anyone care to comment/modify/correct/completely reword the above
proposal? Once we finalize it, I will put it before the VTR National Board
for consideration.
