Hi Amici! Its a privilege to be a part of the list. I have a 58 TR-3 =
street car with a 3/4 race engine,=20
and a slightly modified suspension. I race a 64 Morgan +4 that I owned =
since new. In the 60's
I used to go to the races with Lew Spencer and his crew and got to know =
Kas, and some of the=20
people who worked with him. I have owned my own shop in Santa Cruz, =
Ca. since 1971. In 71, 72, and 73 we prepared a 63 Lotus Super 7 for =
SCCA racing in the Northern Pacific Div. the car was=20
driven by Dick Dapont. We were SF regional champion all 3 years. That =
car was sold to Bill Hartman in 1974 and is still being raced by him in =
both SCCA and some vintage events.=20
In building TR-4 race engines, we have found that some of the parts =
available today just aren't=20
up to the job. So where that has been so, we have parts made. =
Competition Rocker Shafts, hard chromed timing chain tensioners, =
''blueprinted" rear main oil seals, oil pickups, stainless flowbench =
designed valves, forged pistons, aluminum flywheels, and so forth.=20

year ran 11 events! Some lap=20
times are: Sears Point; 1:59, Buttonwillow long course; 2:15, Laguna =
Seca; 1:54, Thunderhill;
long course; 2:16. These times are on Yokohamas, which we can run at =
last in N. Ca. ( except=20

I also own a 64 Sunbeam Alpine, a 74 Austin Marina, a 64 Hillman =
Super Minx "Estate", a 57 300 SL Roadster, and a 64 3.8 E Type FHC.=20

Car
John Lehman <JELehman@ix.netcom.com> GT6
Paul Smock <smockracer@AOL.COM> TR4
Here is an impressive group of additions to the FOT. Please welcome =
them.
It is up to them to take a few minutes to introduce themselves....but of
course THERE ARE NO RULES about this.=20
Also, I am not trying sell decals, but I need to let you know I have =
about
20 left, and they are available for $4.00 each. Popular location is on =
the
front of the helmet or prominent placement on your car.
New additions are partially driven by Mid-Ohio/SVRA's MG/TR Challenge
planning. Very nice low key fraternity of TR drivers, I'd say.
I think SVRA's Jack Woerhle wants in, but can't remember if he confirmed
this....Jack?
