This is Loooong Race number 45. 45 years in a row is a Loooong time to do
anything. Congratulations to Chicagoland Sports Car Club and Midwestern
Council of Sports Car Clubs. I hope to run Saturday with the small production
Miata Mob and Sunday with the Vintage group. Great fun to be involved.

I'll SECOND Jason's thoughts.
THAT LOOOONG RACE in 1981 was one of my very first racing events, and I've been
at every one since except for a couple when the VSCDA had a conflicting event
at Mid-Ohio the same week end. God willin...I'll be there next week end
too...getting in everyone's way...

Subject: [Fot] That Looong Race Prelude
It is that time of year in the Midwest where the season changes from light to
dark and we realize that our cars are about to hibernate for the long cold
winter.
But not before the Season Finale at Blackhawk Farms.
As recently touted here on FoT;
That Looong Race is a long standing awesome fall event that brings with it
colorful wooded views, Trick or Treating, Big Wheel Races, Partying; and most
importantly some great Triumph Camaraderie and Racing.
Several FoT favorites will be racing and many Triumph Legends will be in
attendance.
All of our Triumph cars are pretty evenly matched at Blackhawk and I am eager
to test my season of GT6 development against several of the best of our Triumph
Friends.
Anyone coming out should have a chance to bet on Ostrowski, Drews, Barr, Snook,
Alexander.
Or if you are a fan of American Iron, my teammate and big-balled Cheetah Ace
Brian Garcia, will be trying to beat us in his Dan Gurney inspired Plymouth
Barracuda.
At twice the size and twice the power, he has deck stacked in his favor but the
reliability of the TRs and the speed of the GT6 (if momentum is worth anything
on this given Sunday) will not be friendly to his grunt!
I promise the racing will not disappoint anyone.
All spectating and crew entries are free!
The Beady Eyed Crew always hosts a great wine and Cheese on Saturday evening.
And then the party really gets going into the late night.
Friendly Ghost Racing hosts our annual long standing bad boys of racing
festival of fire in our paddock (in the deep woods of turn 2); with a burn that
crisps the leaves off every tree at the track.
This party goes back to the early days of GT6 racing with John Reed and myself
and often includes fire walking, stuffed animal sacrifices and mostly stuff
that I am not at liberty to put in print.
Pick your poison... as the Looong race is next!
October 24th and 25th
