[Fot] TRIUMPH triumphs...

[Scott Janzen]

Henry and I were having a great time - too bad it was just Friday, though four sessions, as the rain started Friday night, and Saturday and Sunday were really wet.  My GT6 is super twitchy in the wet, so I packed up and went home.
Be interesting to see if the cars are as well matched at Watkins Glen in a few weeks.

Remember, any story sounds even better with some good, old fashioned embellishment. But the timing sheet tells the tale, 5 Triumphs in the group (Including Vic's Ambro), all started and finished really well.

PS - Thanks to all my friends that helped with bonnet removal, fueling duties, canopy work, etc. Driving was not the problem, but Ole Blue would have needed power steering  for me to make one lap!
