As one of the few "non-racer" FOT guys I feel abit out on a limb by
suggesting the ELVF as a possible venue for a future event. Still, I gotta
do it anyway. It's been a number of years since Triumph was the featured
marque at the ELVF so we could make a case for being due... I noticed the
Moggers had plenty of track time during the weekend last month.
Then there's the added attractions of Wisconsin in the fall, Road America,
bratwurst, centrally located (moreso than Mid Ohio) Sprecher Beer, Team
Thicko and the wackos who started the Effohtee in the first place.
