Amici,

I'd like to nominate Joe Hovey to our ranks.  Joe has taken the 
plunge into Triumph racing with his purchase of a 68 Spitfire vintage 
racer.  He was at TWS for the last CVAR event of the year with his 
car.  He managed to get out once for the exhibition event on 
saturday and got a feel for the car and the track.  Next february he 
plans on going through the CVAR drivers school and then work 
towards getting his competition license.  

Below is a little of Joe's background.

How about it, do I have a second?!

Brad
1957 TR3 vintage racer

I was born  in St Paul, Minn. Grew up in the NE Atlanta suburbs. I 
always loved the looks of  British roadsters as a child. I became a 
fan of Triumphs during my many trips to Road Atlanta while 
watching runoff & other racing events. My first car was a 72  brg 
Spitfire which I still own.I've also owned a TR7 until a tree smashed 
it in a storm. Presently I have 5 Triumphs together.  1)My 72 spit in 
restoration.  2) Another rusted 72spit for parts.  3) A  rusted 70 GT6 
for possible Spit6 or upgraded parts.  4) A 68 spit I was going to use 
for a racing project.  5) My latest car is a vintage 67spit racer that I 
hopefully plan to race with the appreciated and helpful advice of 
fellow CVAR members.
