The World Famous
Great Southern
Morgan Three-Wheeler International
Race Team and Grit Tasting Society
... Is preparing for the Pittsburgh Vintage GP.
True to the Southern image, our tow vehicle is my wife's '74 GMC Suburban with
only 154,000 miles on the odo, slight rust and a thirsty 454 cui V8 (8mpg &
666.9 miles to drive)
It appears that our "race trailer" will be a borrowed 'dozer trailer which
weighs as much as three trikes.
Cars are almost ready- as soon as Pete gets his full-race axles from the
machine shop (he feels that he needs more than 1/4" of threads to hold his
front wheels on).
As at least three Canadians (Beers, Knight & Elcomb) are coming. Four USA
trikes (Towner, Olson, Jacobson & me). So we are reviving the CanAm Challange-
albeit for three-wheel cars. We have a beautiful (well.....) trophy for the
"Morgan Three-Wheel CanAm Challange". Not as fancy as the original CanAm
trophy (anyone remember it?) as I only had a broken Piston & well-bent rod to
work with- little lathe work, little torch work, little paint... still it is
fitting the Marque..
I had shirts screen-printed with the team logo- for team members.
Of course the team logo is "The World Famous Great Southern Morgan Three-
Wheeler International Race Team and Grit Tasting Society". Please note- GRIT
not GRITS tasting... might get some yankees interested in joining the team &
don't want to force grits on anyone (aquired taste, I guess..)
Also had a few T-shirts made (XL and XXL only- seems the team has gained girth
in the last few years) with the team logo. Sand-color w/big maroon emblem.
Hope to peddle these at the race to pay for the screen printing.. $10.00@.
Come see us & join the team..
Look us up if you are there- staying at HI Select. If you are not famaliar
with the cars- look for the big 'dozer trailer.
Not sure how we will do in the race, but we are a cinch for "The Friends of
OPEC" award...
