PRESS RELEASE!!!!!!


TRIUMPH will be the featured marque for "The Sprint Vintage Grand Prix"at the
Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course in Lexington, Ohio  (June 14-16,2002 )

 You are cordially invited to participate in commemorating the 50th Anniversary
of the development of the
Triumph Sports.  This car, referred to as the TR 1, was the first of a long line
of Triumph cars considered
to be the best all-around sports cars ever produced.

 The 1992 commemorative was one of the most successful gatherings of Triumph
people from all walks of
life.  Everyone who attended is talking about returning and bringing a friend.
Those that weren't there have
been making plans to attend this 50-year event without fail.  We expect this
event to be the largest attended
Triumph-specific event in history.

 Activities will include commemorative laps for the enthusiast, celebrity
guests, historic cars, an
on-ground-assembled museum of Triumph Marque history, and an International
all-Triumph Marque Race.
A special commemorative badge has been designed to mark this historic
anniversary.  Kas Kastner,
Triumphs West coast racing great, will serve as Grand Marshall.  Racing greats,
past and present, are
pursuing plans to be a part of this weekend.  Bob Tulius of Group 44
 fame, Paul Richardson and various period European Rally Drivers have all been
contacted.  Currently we
are expecting 60 or 70 Triumph Racers to be featured  including as many as 14
cars from overseas.
 Watch your enthusiast newsletters, significant auto-related publications,
e-mail lists and web sites for
further information and
 commemorative memorabilia to be made available
