Bob...
Me thinks thou doust make light of your great effort. =20
What did Henry V say about the St. Crispin's Day battle? Shakespere says h=
e said, "From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be re=
membered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sh=
eds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, this day sh=
all gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed shall think th=
emselves accurs'd they were not here. And hold their manhoods cheap whiles=
any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
Sounds to me like that fits just as well for that band of brothers (the Bob=
(s), Greg, Bobby, Dusty, and Richard), who held their heads high and took o=
n the giants.
Hip, hip hooray!

We had six drivers, most from the FOT list. Greg and Bob Blake, Bobby White=
head, Dusty Nicholson, Richard Ceraldi and myself. All of us race other Tri=
umphs and Richard has a GT6 street car and a Mini Cooper he does HPDE=E2=80=
=99s in. The car progressed from a Lemon=E2=80=99s rat roller to a reasona=
ble race car over time. I supervised the build of the original car and Greg=
and I have both done significant work on improving it over time. It did a=
few Lemon=E2=80=99s weekends, then some Chump races and has competed in th=
ree WRL endurance weekends. This was the first one where we completed every=
lap, every hour. That is not to say we were on the lead laps. There were t=
wo factory built BMW M2=E2=80=99s out there a couple of Mustang purpose bui=
lt racers, and a number of other P cars and Beemers that lapped us many ti=
mes. It was fun to race against the Corvettes in the rain, but the smaller =
Boxsters, S2000 and Miata=E2=80=99s had the better of us. Truth is not only=
were we the oldest car out there by far, we were also outclassed in speed =
potential by almost everyone, and in the rain that gapped widened. I did ab=
out more than two hours in heavy rain. It wasn=E2=80=99t the =E2=80=9Crace =
of a lifetime=E2=80=9D but it was fun in a sadistic sort of way.=20
