We were invited, we showed up in force, and we put on a great show for=20
both the FOT and the world. It looks like the Lime Rock marketing=20
machine will be do us proud, I look forward to see what becomes of all=20
the work still going on behind the scenes.
Speaking of marketing, hats off to Shawn Frank for all his work for us,=20
what a valuable member of our team. Thanks Shawn!
I want to thank everyone who came and supported the event. Racers, crew,=20
and friends. Putting on a Kastner Cup takes teamwork, and while I might=20
have been the seen as the guy pulling the strings, every one of you who=20
was there, even in spirit only, were important to cause. You folks make=20
it all work, as we know a club without active members isn't worth all=20
that much.
For me, one of the coolest parts of any KCup weekend is getting to meet=20
and spend some time with our FOT brethren. This event gave us ample=20
opportunity to really get to know some of our racing friends, and I hope=20
everybody took full advantage.
We had been planning on doing the awards ceremony at Triumph Central,=20
under the tent by the Alexander paddock. We had 50 minutes from parking=20
our cars after the race to start the presentation. I was informed the=20
track wanted to do the presentation down in the A paddock at the=20
winner's circle with about a half hour to go, and Skip Barber would be=20
attending! So our team springs into action, circulates the word around=20
the paddock (sorry to the folks who didn't get word in time), our stuff=20
gets loaded into cars and shuttled down. I gather my thoughts, get=20
cleaned up and ready for the presentation, find the winners circle with=20
maybe 10 minutes to go. I get introduced to Skip, we are figuring out=20
how this is all going to work, then I hear someone say David Hobbs is=20
here. I turn to see David getting out of his golf cart, he walks over,=20
we are introduced and he asks me "what do you want me to do?" I had=20
known he was going to be there for maybe 30 seconds at that point! The=20
notes I had jotted down for how the ceremony was to flow at this point=20
are pretty meaningless, and it was time to wing it. Hopefully it didn't=20
come off as haphazard as it seemed in my head! But heck, I got to=20
introduce David Hobbs, that will probably be the highlight of my racing=20
career!
To recap the awards recipients:
Kastner Cup - Dave Gott, TR4
Amici Award - Jason Ostrowsky
Performance Award - TR2-3 - Joe Boruch
Performance Award - TR4 - Tony Drews
Performance Award - TR250-6 - Henry Frye
Performance Award - TR7-8 - Tim Cook
Performance Award - GT6 - Alex Amys
Performance Award - Spitfire - David Gussack (KCup race winner)
Performance Award - Triumph Powered Special - Vic Schuster
Sponsor Award - Western Pennsylvania Triumphs Association
Sponsor Award - GoodParts
Sponsor Award - Alexander Racing Equipment
Honored Guest - David Hobbs
One of the event sponsors is Autodromo, and they present a fine watch to=20
a participant from each group that embodies the spirit of the event. I=20
was told the guy who does the presentation for Autodromo was on track at=20
the moment, so I was asked to do the deed. While I don't think I had=20
their spiel down all that well, I was proud to present the watch to my=20
new racing buddy, Alex Amys!
I had to be reminded to announce the location of the next Kastner Cup,=20
silly me as I am going to do this all again for next year. We are going=20
to Mosport, currently known as the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, in=20
Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. The home of the very first Kastner Cup. So=20
mark your calendars for Father's Day weekend, 2026, ensure your passport=20
is up to date, and stay tuned for more details as they become available!
Also, it was hard not to notice I was hobbling around wearing a back=20
brace all weekend. At the track for the test day on Tuesday I did=20
something my back didn't like and for a while there I was thinking I=20
could not race. It took a village to keep me in the game, thanks to=20
everyone who helped me physically so I would make it out and be part of=20
the show. My time on-track was awesome, thanks to Bob Lang and Alex Amys=20
for some great dicing and encouragement to finally turn some laps down=20
in the 1:04's. I beat my best lap from last year by .185 seconds!
Again, thanks to everyone who participated. Job well done, looking=20
forward to Mosport next year!
Henry Frye
