 Jeff,
Your place looks far too nicely done to make any money--is this a toy or
are you actually running commercially viable business?

Dear Steve and Janet (and all FOTers)

I will be pleased to welcome you to Snook's Dream Cars Automobile Museum
as
your first pit stop on Saturday afternoon, 6/21.  Any FOTers are welcome
to
attend and cheer on Team Scrappy as my guest.

The first car arrives at 2:50pm and last car leaves at 5:05pm.  Team
Scrappy
(Car #45) should arrive about 3:30pm.  Each car will be at our Museum
for 30
minutes for a brief stretch, refreshments, potty stop, and quick tour of
the
Museum.

I will be racing my TR3A at Mid Ohio that weekend (so it won't be on
display
in the Museum), but will be driving back for the arrival of the Great
American Race cars.

Steve and Janet, you guys have done a remarkable job in this event and
thanks for keeping the spirit of Triumph runing throughout the country.
Your car preparation and ability to run an endurance event like the GAR
is
truly remarkable.

These 120 cars will be traveling over 4,000 miles in a two week period.
None are newer than 1957. Many are open cars with the driver and
navigator
braving whatever weather Mother Nature throws at them.

Good luck and see you on the 21st.

Jeff Snook
