Below is from Barry Munson...one of our Canadian FOT. This was his response
to Bill Rinke, race organizer, who sent out a 'thank you' to all
participants.
Success cant be measured in the number of entrants.
The FOT has an excellent reputation. It was further advanced by the TOPEKA
EXPERIENCE.
AND, sitting on the grid for the Kastner Cup was an emotional experience. It
was an orchestrated emotional experience. NATIONAL ANTHEM with two vintage
aircraft side by side trailing smoke and pealing off at precisely the right
moment along with drum rolls from the Topeka HS Band. We might have been on
the grid at the Indianapolis 500.
Thanks for being there with us, Barry. We will be looking for you and your TR3
when it is ready.

Bill b Ibve delayed sending you this because I know that youbve been
bombarded with e-mail messages. Man that was one unbelievable event b
absolutely superb facility, well organized and run event, great just great
people. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
My goal in coming was to experience vintage racing, learn a new track, to meet
people who are usually on the other end of an e-mail string and, of course,
really appreciate the essence of what FOT is b its members.
All expectations were met in spades.
It was also special to be able to spend some time with you and Dottie, that
meant a lot.
The attachment is entitled b home away from homeb because that is how I
felt and is also a reminder that a very appreciative Canadian with a Volvo was
there.
Thanks again.
Barry.
