Amici, 
  My report on the Kastner Cup weekend. Thursday practice beautiful weather. About 40 Triumphs on site. Sam Halkias,
Mike Munson, Dick Stockton, Jerry Barker (63 Herald)
 among those. Super photo shoot with approx 45 cars
 Friday Qualifiying race major item was Jerry Barker breaking left rear axle. No spare on site, called his son in CA to send spares overnite. Friday group 3 race Dick Stockton sat that one out. Top six finishers were Alan Tosler with a 66 Lotus Elan (who would give Sam And Mike Munson fits) Mike Munson, Henry Frye, Robert Lang,(with rookie stripes) Leo Oddi, and Scott Janzen.  Sam Halkias dropped out early which would be an ongoing theme. 13 laps. Sat group 3 race Alan Tosler, Mike Munson, Dick Stockton,Mark Wheatley,(after finishing only 5 laps on friday) Robert Lang (who ran a 130.937) and James Dolan with Group 44 GT6.  Sat group 3 race 2 Alan Tosler, James Dolan, Robert Lang (who let Dolan slip by under yellow) Mark Wheatley, Henry Frye, and Charlie Dolan. Only 7 laps, Sam Halkias and Mike Munson only making 3 laps Mike breaking his diff chasing the Lotus. As of mid day still no joy for Jerry Barker as UPS plane carrying axles delayed. Luckily another competitor,Joe Wisnewski?donated his axles from early Spitfire damaged in a friday group 4 race. With all that drama Kastner Cup Race delayed til Sunday as skies let loose wind and rain deluge flooding track and the pits.  Sunday started off light showers that kept track slightly damp for the 8:45 am Kastner Cup Race. Sam Halkias was gone with Mike Munson on pole. Pace car led field on 2 pace laps to highlight slick spots.  After green flag Mike Munson James Dolan and Robert Lang were leading with Mark Wheatley, Dick Stockton and Tony Drews gaining quickly on the damp track. After about lap 5 rain picked up and James Dolan GT6 and Boyd Wagner TR6went off near the Carousel. This brought out yellow then quickly black flags. Unfortunately Scott Janzen,Dick Stockton, and Jerry Barker (who had been driving like a demon from last place) saw them late and missed pit entrance coming up quickly  on the rest of the field pitting. That earned all three an early exit. After a cleanup delay the field took off again for only a few more laps. From where I watched it looked  like a  Mike Munson, Mark Wheatley Tony Drews Jeff Snook (TR3) Robert Lang finish. Congratulations to all but specially Mark Wheatly and Robert Lang for really strong weekends. Apologies to the other TR groups as it was a busy weekend and I could not keep track of it all.
