Now that we've all jumped down your throat on this ... I think the MG perspective may be just a shade different for a couple reasons. Historically, MGVR started out in 1981 as a group for T-series O
Dear Folks: I appreciate the invitation, and I would really like to bring the Group 44 TR-6, but bear in mind that even 25 years ago it ran with some pretty agressive cantilever tires (10" footprint)
You know, a fair number of these Triumphs and MGs that don't really fit in with the rest could show up. Maybe even enough for their very own practice session and special exhibition race. mjb.
Been so long since I'd seen Bill and this fabulous TR6 I'd forgotten about it! This is a classic vintage car in the same spirit as Don Munoz's MGB. Don's car is his old SCCA ride. If Bill's willing t
My vote is .... definitely yes! To my mind, this is exactly the "right" kind of car to have -- real history, period preparation. I'm sure Bill wouldn't remember it, but I've been on the track with h
Bring it as is. Your car is a piece of history and is more "vintage" and historic than much of what is out there. I look forward to seeing you again at Mid-Ohio. I am assembling a squadron of Spitfi

We will be promoting touring, exhibition, and display of non-qualified cars and work-in-process cars of interest. I think we will be able to get some space set aside IE: Mr Engard and his WIP Italia

Amici Triumphi Mark Your Calendars!!! I'll make this short at this time, but want to plant the idea for planning purposes. SVRA is in the early stages of planning for a TR/MG Challenge at Mid-Ohio, 1
Mid-Ohio, lots of Interesting idea Joe, but I'm not sure I grasp the concept . . . Triumphs vs MG's? What's the challenge in that? (Just trying to get the fight started early :-) Jim Hill Amici Trium
Hmm, could be interesting. I certainly won't be ready to drive in such an event, but perhaps I can fly out for the event, or help some western racer drive across the Rockies. But in light of some rec

Whoops, I was going to try to avoid that by calling it a "gentlemen's race" among gentlemen. So much for that....let's have at 'em. Mid-Ohio, lots of Interesting idea Joe, but I'm not sure I grasp th
Joe seems to be looking for easy targets.......... By then maybe you & I can complicate things for him with our Triumphs?????? (may as well go for the gold.......) Tom Strange, Classic Autosports Lt
Hey Guys, I know of at least three MGBs that will be more than a challenge for us TRs to compete with. Don Munoz, Les Gonda and John Target! These guys are running some pretty hot set-ups. Munoz was
I was thinking the same thing when I read that message--there's a guy named Collin Sparkes here who puts his MGB up front in almost any vintage race he enters. I'd have to pick up six seconds at PIR
<< So, I would be careful of making disparaging remarks about the lack of a challenge presented by the MGs. Unless, of course, we dump over-developed MGBs from the competition!! >> Jensen's brother h
I'm with Jeff, I dont believe any of us have enough for Munoz or Target. I wouldnt want to wish car failure down on either of these excellent racers. So, we can all fight over 3rd and still have a go
Dick Jensen has a fine TR6, and he comes from 'good stock,' but I think he would have his hands full with some of the MG people mentioned. Might consider having Carl pop a small block in there just
