Question (business) first
Have the mid Ohio dates been set yet - and what are they?  Is it firmed up 
at all as a 'happening'?
Any idea of tire requirements - I need to re-tire right now, and would like 
to get whatever will be required at the TR event at Mid Ohio next summer. 
 Any ideas or info?  I'd like to run in a historic class if offered.

CVAR ran a great, large event this weekend and the one hour enduro was run 
on Saturday instead of the usual Sunday time slot.  Season over, and a car 
running great, #39 1959 TR3 took to the track for the 60 minute event.  1 
pit stop, refuel and back on track (after a required 5 minute stop) and we 
finished the event at speed, without over heating or any of the feared 
gremlins.  Bob Kramer knows a thing or two about building these engines. 
 Lap times were equal to laps in the 20 minute sprints.  It was just great. 
 Even getting passed by other LARGE closed wheel cars.  Boss 302. 
 Shelby(s).  Whale Tail FAST Porsche.  Very fast.  Panterra on the front 
straight at TWS - oh my gosh what a feeling THAT was.  It'll train you to 
use your mirrors in a hurry.

Repeat (to throw in MG drivers' faces) one of our TR3 ran 2 races PLUS an 
enduro in one day.  And lived to run Sunday morning (somehow, lap times 
were 2 whole seconds better on Sunday).  Somehow the driver was sore on 
Sunday, not the car!

Hallet, OK is our next stop in Oct. 2001.  The track is repaved, reported 
in great condition, and CVAR will welcome you.  For information contact Art 
Summerville at mustrace82@aol.com .  See you there.
