Race report:<br>
Awesome weekend.&nbsp; Wine and Cheese in the Drews / Dentinger garage was =
well attended and went on after Drews departed.&nbsp; I'm told the bonfire =
was pretty epic, some seem to have hazy memory of it.<br>
Of the Triumph contingent, only Drews and Alex Amys made it the whole weeke=
nd.&nbsp; &nbsp;Congrat's Alex, you looked great out there&nbsp; Jason ALMO=
ST made it but retired 2 laps from the end of the last 25 lap race with ove=
rheating.&nbsp; Both Jason and Shawn Alexander beat
 me in the 1st 25 lapper (I chased Shawn all the way but couldn't quite get=
 close enough).&nbsp; Shawn was pushing out water and decided that running =
the 2nd race would be a bad idea if he had a head gasket going.&nbsp; I con=
cur but would have liked to have him out there.&nbsp;
 In the 2nd race I ended up first holding off Jason (who had to slow for a =
spinning 240 Z and I opportunistically passed him) then trying very hard (a=
nd semi-successfully) to keep up with him, then trying to keep up with a Ca=
maro SS that Jason passed.&nbsp; I hounded
 the Camaro, he eventually bailed and as I was closing back in on Jason wit=
h 3 to go he pulled off.&nbsp; Still, all of the triumphs drove onto the tr=
ailers, a good time was had by all.<br>
Jason's daughter did pull off the 3peat in the big wheel race - those are t=
he highlight of the weekend.<span><br>

For the vintage race, only Sean=C2 Alexander (TR4), myself (GT6&#43;) and n=

Bill Detinger is flying in from sin city just to see our show.<br>

He and his dad David have done a wonderful job so=C2 far,<br>

I hope to show them what a little patina is worth.<br>
