Some comments on this thread from one member of the club (Minnesota 
Triumphs) hosting the 98 VTR National:

Bob Kramer, Austin TX, wrote: "One of the subjects that came up at the VTR 
meeting was why the turnout at the Nationals is declining."

 -- I don't know whether it is declinging or whether it isn't, but our intent 
is to go all-out for the best attendance possible on July 22-25, 1998 in 
Winona, MN.  This includes the use of gratuitous plugs such as included in 
the previous sentence.

Bob Kramer, Austin TX, wrote: "I suggest that we attempt to have every VTR 
National in a locale nearby to some very special feature like a Vintage race 
weekend."

 -- Not the easiest thing to do given lead times, hotel availabilities and 
thousands of other variables.  All that said, however, if the Chicago 
Historics are again on the third weekend in July in 1998, it will be the 
weekend before the '98 VTR.  The Historics are held in "nearby" Elkhart 
Lake, Wisconsin.  Does one of the racers on this list know the correct date 
of the '98 Chicago Historics?  Irv?

R John Lye wrote: "It was nice to see so many race cars in the show - this 
is something that I'd really like to see the VTR encourage.  There are a lot 
of really neat cars out there on the vintage circuit that a lot of folks 
would really enjoy seeing."

 -- Couldn't agree more.  What can we do from our end (host club) to 
encourage their attendance?  And what could any of you do to help?

p.s.  Let me also take this opportunity to say "tak sa myka" to the Red 
River Triumph club for the Fort Worth event.  We're only beginning to get an 
idea of how much work goes into organizing an event of this magnitude.  And 
I personally really appreciated how well they treated some of us 
heat-deranged northerners.

p.p.s.  I hate to admit this, but the temps in Minnesota this week are as 
high as they were in Fort Worth last week.  It's not normal for us, but it 
does happen.  Does anybody want to buy a non-air-conditioned '64 Volvo?
