I too enjoyed that article. It is well done and gives a feel for the
tremendous scope of a 24 Hour Endurance effort. Ted's constant use of the
collective
pronoun 'we' rings true and helps describe how many hands are needed to be
successful in endurance racing. Of course the racers are important, but so too
that crew and team. The panoramic picture of the 'TS' team shows how just how
many people were involved in supporting that effort (rivals the population of
Rhode Island).
The article also includes a great photo of Mike Cook, driving a lowly TR7 and
getting ready to lap Ted in the TR8 (yet again). Kidding! After the smoke
cleared, both cars placed in their respective classes. Ted's TR8 took 3rd, and
Mike's TR7 took 2nd.
Seems like I remember Ted speaking at an early North American Triumph
Challenge event either before or after that race. Ah yes...the good old days.

PS...the back cover sure looks like the old Roadster I once owned (KTF 469).
It was lipstick red when I owned it. A sacrilege, but not something I had
done. The guy I sold it to put a TON of money into a professional restoration,
and it was drop dead gorgeous the next time I saw it. Sure looks like the
same car.
