My TR4 was a privateer car campaigned by Joe Hines Jr. He ran it at both =
Daytona and Sebring in 1967 with co-drivers Wilber Pickett, Whit Tharin, =
 C.C Canada and T.J. Kelly. Joe Hines is racing in the clouds. I talked =
to him back when I bought the car and he provided me with a few period =
pictures and some background. He ran the car just one year and continued =
on with other cars. He ran a few time in the Daytona 500. T.J. Kelly was =
a long time Morgan racer but I haven=E2=80=99t been able to locate him. =
Wilber Pickett has a long racing resume and he even shared a car with =
Bob Tullius at some point. C.C Canada was around a bit too. Does anyone =
know of the whereabouts of any of these drivers?

=20

Bob

=20

Plans are being made to be at Amelia Island and Sebring 12 Hour in March =
2017.

=20

The plan so far is to have the:

=20

57 Sebring TR3 from the UK

63 Sebring TR4 from the UK

TR250K that ran in the late 60s

Bob Kramer's Sebring TR4

=20

Russ Pierce plans to bring the Macau.

=20

HSR is the sanctioning body and will have the schedule and entry =
information.

=20

Lodging is an issue and should be pursued early on.

=20

(I plan to stay at the track)

=20

There are no designated project people leading the charge on this. =
Hopefully, the FOT attending will share information and provide support =
to each other.

=20

It is quite possible that the original drivers will attend along with =
Kas and Peg. I am hoping that the current car owners will extend those =
invitations to Bob Tullius, Ed Diehl, and Bob Johns.

=20

I AM looking for a means to get Kas & Peg there and to secure lodging. =
Any ideas are welcome.

=20

Potentially, this could be one of the most significant Triumph Vintage =
Reunions of current times. Tim Suddard called. I know he is interested =
in covering it. Burt Levy is also interested.

=20

And then there is the Kastner Cup in June. The U.K. Triumphs will be =
shipped there to Black Hawk Farms to run the Kastner Cup. How cool is =
that?

=20

Anyway, I hope the Amelia and Sebring events gain great traction. I =
suspect that it will. There is no doubt that the 15th Running of the =
Kastner Cup will be huge. (Hosted by Brian Garcia and Jason Ostrowski.)
