Hey all,

=20

I got a hold of TJ Kelly. He is more of a Triumph guy than I knew. He =
was racing a TR6 in Florida at the same time as Group 44 and the Kastner =
Brophy teams were at it elsewhere. He told me that Daytona in 1967 was 9 =
degrees when he was driving in my TR4, not top. He remembers that the =
car lasted the night and expired at about 7 AM with Wilbur Picket =
driving. I had to run but I am going to learn more as we stay in touch. =
The best news is that he is an active 78 year old, lives on a boat (a =
big boat) and will be in Jacksonville for March. He sounded like he will =
do whatever it takes to make it to Sebring.=20

=20

I better get working on that =

Bob,

I might be able to get you his contact information from the author of =

Plans are being made to be at Amelia Island and Sebring 12 Hour in March =
2017.

=20

The plan so far is to have the:

=20

57 Sebring TR3 from the UK

63 Sebring TR4 from the UK

TR250K that ran in the late 60s

Bob Kramer's Sebring TR4

=20

Russ Pierce plans to bring the Macau.

=20

HSR is the sanctioning body and will have the schedule and entry =
information.

=20

Lodging is an issue and should be pursued early on.

=20

(I plan to stay at the track)

=20

There are no designated project people leading the charge on this. =
Hopefully, the FOT attending will share information and provide support =
to each other.

=20

It is quite possible that the original drivers will attend along with =
Kas and Peg. I am hoping that the current car owners will extend those =
invitations to Bob Tullius, Ed Diehl, and Bob Johns.

=20

I AM looking for a means to get Kas & Peg there and to secure lodging. =
Any ideas are welcome.

=20

Potentially, this could be one of the most significant Triumph Vintage =
Reunions of current times. Tim Suddard called. I know he is interested =
in covering it. Burt Levy is also interested.

=20

And then there is the Kastner Cup in June. The U.K. Triumphs will be =
shipped there to Black Hawk Farms to run the Kastner Cup. How cool is =
that?

=20

Anyway, I hope the Amelia and Sebring events gain great traction. I =
suspect that it will. There is no doubt that the 15th Running of the =
Kastner Cup will be huge. (Hosted by Brian Garcia and Jason Ostrowski.)
