I think it would be great to get JK up for this, sorry but I don't know
Sam. I wonder , if in fact there is to be a MG vs TR feature race, if
perhaps these cars could enter if they weren't too radical?
This is definately a question for Jack and Carl. Any opinions? Okay, how
'bout we invite you both to a few tankards of "Old Spotted Hen", after a
bit they will seem to appear perfectly suited!
As I recall, using the Triumph reunion as the standard at Mid Ohio, we did
overlook some of the requirements and of course this would apply to MGs
also, well maybe only the slow MGs.
It is possible we could also coerce TRF into bringing the TRS Lemans car,
if for nothing else to use as a pace car. I can check with TRF on this, but
I know an engine is being built for it. Hopefully the Lemans Spit of Bill
Shanahan will also be there. Are there any similar cars of the MG flavor
out there? Maybe have two pace cars going side by side at the start of the
run. Great photo op, sort of a "History Returns to Mid Ohio" cut.
Any opinions out there?
