The list member with 2 TR3Bs and 2 live axle TR4As will be attending
(this may not narrow it down much, does it?).
My wife, son, mother-in-law, and I will be leaving for Portland on
Saturday, July 24, staying in N.J. to break the drive into two days. We
will be returning August 2-3, again by way of family in N.J. Alas, none
of my Triumphs will be going...
BTW, we will stay with my wife's family while in Portland, mostly in
Gorham and Gray, but should be spending a lot of time at the Holiday
Inn; especially looking forward to Wednesday night.
The Tidewater Triumph Register should have 4 families there, so our
TooTers horns will be out in force!
Also BTW, we camped in the Poconos (sp?) for our first VTR meet, with
our white TR3B. Drove to N.J. for my first autocross. My dark blue
TR4A (my first car) has certainly made the Virginia to Maine run, as has
my white TR3B. Drove my TR4A the 14 hour trip (24 hours elapsed time),
when pulling a pop-up tent trailer and battling the Prince of Darkness,
back in 1980. We drove our white TR3B up to Portand for our wedding,
honeymooned driving around Nova Scotia, then drove 13 hours back to
Dulles for a TRA meet. This was in 1981, and it think it was also a
STIR Meet.
