I've been using the Rimmer upgrade for a couple of years now after I saw
multiple cars with axle failures at the Watkins Glen K cup. The bearings
are sealed and available from multiple independent sources. The only change
I made was drilling out the stud holes for mounting longer/thicker wheel
studs.

Hi,
Looking long term, I may have some parts that need transportation from New England to South Carolina. The parts are a TR6 bonnet and boot lid.
I talked to the potential buyer and he's not in a major rush, so it looks like transportation around the Wild Hare might work for him.
Alternately, if anyone on this list has either of these parts and is close to Charleston, SC - drop me a line and I can hook you up with the guy. He's building a street car for his wife as she loved TR6's. So, you might help make a marriage better! Win - Win!!!

We got to do a ?missing man? tribute lap to Bob last month at Hallett in Oklahoma. Greg B lead with his dad?s helmet along for the ride, Greg T brought Bob?s former Red 14 TR4 down from Minnesota and flew the FOT flag, and a few of us friends of Bob?s followed along. The full flags corner worker salute was a touching moment to be remembered.

Message-ID: <df2ac2302e07046c19142e0f93e20ffa@tr4racer.com>

Friends,

Thanks to our own media maven Shawn Frank, we have been nudged to get 
going with our first press release and the event poster! Those of us who 
belong to the Vintage Triumph Register get the magazine, The Vintage 
Triumph, and know that Shawn is the editor. Be sure to look for coverage 
in every issue from the next one due in a few weeks all the way up to 
the event next fall! Thank you Shawn for the great support!!!

Details for the event are starting to come together. I will share the 
pertinent facts as they become available.

Event Poster: I have attached the event poster, thanks to Curt Johnston 
for helping us with that!

Schedule: Test day is the Tuesday immediately preceding the event. The 
track is happy to have racers park their race rigs at the track in the 
assigned spot for the event on Tuesday, but you can't stay at the track 
until Thursday. On Thursday, the track hosts a drive through the 
Berkshire Mountains open to race cars and street cars alike, a real 
treat for many. The drive ends in Falls Village, a quaint town a couple 
miles from the track for an old-fashioned street fair. On Friday we 
practice in the morning, qualify in the afternoon. Then two races on 
Saturday, and on Monday morning we have another race before the main 
event. We run the Kastner Cup race right after lunch with the ceremony 
to present the Kastner Cup after the race.

Eligibility: The race is open to all Triumph powered race cars. The 
caveat is, as always, tire rules. Cars must run on Vintage tires, 
meaning no slicks. I urge any potential participant to contact me with 
details of your car and we will do everything possible to get you in the 
race.

Triumphs get their own run group: There could be some exceptions to this 
one, if we get too many Triumphs registering for the event we may be 
forced to bump the uber-fast cars to fast group, or a car prepped well 
beyond Vintage rules may run with a more appropriate group. Same may 
apply to some of the less-fast cars, we may have to bump them to a 
not-so-fast group. But we will all race together on Monday afternoon for 
the Cup.

Lodging: This will be a challenge. We urge everyone who is planning on 
attending and not camping at the track to secure bedspace as soon as 
possible. The closest town with a variety of known hotel chains is Great 
Barrington, Massachusetts, about 30 minutes from the track. It is not 
practical to identify a host hotel for this one, the hotels are not 
large and get filled up early. An option some racers use is to double 
(or triple) up and secure lodging from AirB&B or VRBO. There are houses 
available in the area that work well for this. Also, there is 
information on Lime Rock's website with some closer options, but none of 
them are large and the scope of this annual event usually has them 
filled by the same racers year to year!

Sponsorship: As always, there will be expenses that the FOT needs to 
cover. We are soliciting donations for sponsorship as we have done in 
the past. Please contact me, Henry Frye, with any questions or with any 
interest in sponsorship. We will continue to use the gofundme page for 
those looking for a convenient way to contribute.

Sunday: Lime Rock Park operates under a moratorium that prohibits 
running race engines on Sundays. The track pivots on Sunday to host a 
large concours and car show. Race cars are invited to participate, but 
each one gets towed down to the front straight on the track as we can't 
run them! We are in process of securing prime car show space for our 
friends with their street cars. Our plans for Sunday are still in 
process, but we envision some FOT gathering for dinner, libation and 
socializing. Again, stay tuned for more details as they develop.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, I will do my best to get back 
to you quickly!

We look forward to seeing you at the Lime Rock Historic Festival next 
fall!

FOT-ers,?
I can attest to the information that Henry just sent. The Thursday afternoon (charity) drive is like a ?Mini-Me? New England version of what Road America does.?
The drive takes you through Lakeville and Salisbury where folks line the roads to cheer and wave. In Salisbury, the cars wends?through an assisted living facility where the course bends back on itself and threads over country?roads almost back to the track, where a?left turn near the entrance?leads to Falls Village, just?a few miles down the road where the cars are parked, beer and hotdogs can be consumed live music provides a great background to peruse the race cars and street cars that participated. Around?dusk, cars begin to leave. Unlicensed race cars without headlights (like mine) are escorted safely?back to the track by the?local Gendarmes. It really brings out some special cars, enthusiastic people,?and it?s for a good cause, usually the local food bank. (Gas?tank full?before you go!)
On Friday night, the track hosts a large dinner for the drivers and one?guest?under a huge tent on the hill overlooking the track. Wine and beer flow freely, and the food can be pretty good, too. After dinner, there is usually a featured guest who?after a short interview, takes questions from the audience. Everyone stumbles off?to bed happy.
This has always been one of?my favorite weekends. The racing, the Sunday in the Park car show, the festival atmosphere where fans walk freely through the paddock-?all great fun.?
I am really looking forward to next years Kastner Cup.?And I?m determined to not be LAST this time!?I hope to see some of you that I became acquainted with in Portland and Sonoma at the K Cups there. (It?s your turn to do the long haul ?).?
Heed Henry?s?words about lodging if?you don?t stay in your trailer.
See you in September at Lime Rock,
Rick McCurdyRed TR3 #132

Shameless plug here.

The Historic Racing Group,   https://historicracinggroup.com/ ,in concert
with VSCCA and Empire Drivers, will be racing at Lime Rock Fri-Sat May
30-31, 2025 (Fri-Sat after Memorial Day). We, and the VSCCA, will have some
spots open for non members who would like to get some racing time in at the
track before the K Cup. There will also be two track day groups at the
event if you want more of a tune and test than wheel to wheel competition.

Wheel to Wheel groups:
HRG- Multiclass racing. We allow SCCA production and GT based race cars
from the early 60s through 1983. Think Spitfire/TR4/TR6/TR7/TR8 from the
Triumph fold.
VSCCA - Rick McCurdy and other earlier TRs, as well as Triumph based sports
racers should race with VSCCA.

Track day groups: Passing only allowed on the straights
Two separate sessions, based on car prep and experience level. All of the
advanced groups are generally full-on race cars, some modern cars will be
in this group.

All groups can run unmuffled, one of just 7 open exhaust days allowed at
the track (K Cup will be open exhaust). Two day event, free camping (no
hookups) allowed at the track, participant (including crew) party on Friday
night. Unlimited crew, a ton of track time with 3-4 sessions per group per
day. It's a fun event that we consider our friends and family weekend.

Details and entry form will be on the HRG website in a week or so.

If you have any questions, send me an email.

Spent some time tonite going thru some manuals that my Dad, Mike Cook, had compiled. This one must tell a story!
Likely taken from the dumpster after the big clean out of Triumph parts and pieces from the Leonia, NJ HQ in the Spring of 1982! He brought home station wagons full.

Cool stuff

Trying to source a TR6 Group 44 type wind screen - mine is cracked.   I
checked with TSI a few months ago and he needed at least 5 orders to make
some new ones.  Also, checked with Aircraft Windshield Co, and they have the
mold for Spitfires, but not TR6's and would need the original to make a
mold.   Have an email into Huffaker Motorsport as well.  Any other sources I
should check?

Thanks,

All the cars use the same windshield frame so I bet the Spitfire screen would fit.

The racing screens aren?t my wheelhouse?  but curious?

Aren?t the stock windshield frames and bolt locations the same for early Spitfires and TR4 to TR6?

Seems like the aluminum trim bits on the top is what differentiated them.   No?

So are the racing screens different?

Yes, all Spit, TR4, TR4A, TR250, TR 6 and possibly the TR7, take the same windshields.  
Checking on mold and ability to get the Grp44 windshield made?Will let FoT group know what I find out next week.

I have a an unused one in storage. I?m not interested in selling it but I could make it an available to be copied. It is dark smoke color. The blue one on my ex-Halkias car is beginning to fail so I might be in the market for a blue one if this all comes together.

You only get one chance at life, make it a TRIUMPH.

All the cars use the same windshield frame so I bet the Spitfire screen would fit.

Mark & list. Sorry for delay in reply. I own the mold for this 
windscreen. We normally produce screen in a "smoke grey" but can do 
other colors.? Somebody mentioned Sam Halkias blue windscreen. We did 
those.? But will only do a custom color if the entire production run is 
sold.? Sam wanted the blue so we did a run of 5 in that shade of blue.? 
We start with a 4' x 8' sheet of 1/8' plexi and can get 5 screens from 
one sheet.? The only issue at this time is the oven.? We lost use of our 
oven and not sure when new oven will be up and running. Price is $175 + 
shipping for standard smoke grey color. Will try and have update early 
next week. Ted

 I might be interested in a smoke grey version. I'll watch these pages for an update.
I have the Sam Halkias Newman tribute car.

 Hi,
I've done dozens of TR6 clutches at this point. The "magic clutch" combo of the Sachs PP and a proper clutch disk is a great option. I also have done a lot of Borg and Beck setups from Goodparts. Just make sure to match the t/o bearing to the type of fingers on the PP. Curved fingers = flat face on t/o bearing and flat fingers = curved t/o bearing face. I'm, also a fan of the bronze t/o bearing sleeve that TRF sells. There's no pin to stop the rotation so you don't get dents in the sleeve that wind up limiting the amount of clutch action. TRF used to include "bear grease" with the Magic Clutch kit, but I've used regular axle grease - sparingly - and no take backs. The Borg and Beck kits come with lube for the splines - that's really important for cars that don't put on a lot of miles because the clutch disk can rust onto the transmission input splines when the car sits for a long time.
Take your pick on suppliers, but Goodparts has been great for me. BPNW is great too. And TRF, of course.

Fellow racers and fans, we know the big TR event for 2025 is the Kastner Cup at Lime Rock in August; but to add to your racing pleasure, the first ever PVGP Triumph/MG Challenge has just been formally announced. The link for the event is below with all the
 details.

Triumph - MG Challenge | PVGP<https://pvgp.org/triumph-mg-challenge/>

The cliff note version is as follows: July 11 through the 13th at Pittsburgh International Raceway (PittRace), Team Triumph will be taking on Team MG for the soon to be infamous PVGP Triumph MG trophy. For no additional entry fee, you will get to run one Triumph/MG challenge race on Saturday and a second one on Sunday. Saturday will be a Team Triumph vs Team MG race with the winning team being awarded the trophy based on each team's racers finishing position. This is not just the fastest car in the marquee winning, this is a TEAM challenge.  Sunday will be a king of the hill race with the fastest Triumph or MG taking the honors. This will be in ADDITION to all the regular PVGP sessions for your normal run groups.

Unbeatable track time! If you have never raced PittRace, it is a fantastic track. 2.8 miles, 19 corners, 3 long straights and 101 feet of elevation changes. If that's not enough, how about an all-paved paddock, and the icing on the cake: AIR-CONDITIONED BATHROOMS AND SHOWERS.  Where else can you find that?

Take the time to read the announcement, there is some pretty special stuff going on for both the racers and the Triumph/MG spectators.  Put it on your schedule, you will have a blast!  Let's show those lowly MG?s how fast real British cars are!

I wonder how many of us have a collection of headers hanging off their
walls like I do?  I have a couple of the early 2 section headers that I
should probably scrap. Another pair of the common/cheap 4 into 1 headers
and 2 Hooker Headers that are bigger pipes, but were designed for street
cars and need some work on the bottommost tubes where they've scraped the
track. I'm running another Hooker in the TR4 right now, but it's my last
good one.

I?m using stainless steel headers that I got from BFE probably 20 or so years ago.  They have been great.  

Have an old set of tri-Y headers hanging around that I last used when the 4:1 steel headers that came with my TR3 fell apart and I was waiting for the BFE headers to arrive.

I?m probably bucking the trends here. I run the stainless falcon tri-y. If you believe theory behind header designs, the shorter primaries will favor low to mid range torque over high rpm horsepower. Since I built my race motor around the concept of accentuating torque, I went with these. Been running them since 2010 and they are still in great condition. Do I make the most power, no. Does my car pull out of the corners? Hell yeah. 

One draw back with my engine combo. It drops out of that nice fat torque curve at anything over 6500. I know some other guys that run TR 3/4 motors that will pull another 1000 rpm making power. 

I guess it comes down to the whole package. Match your headers to your engine.

These are the headers I ran on my TR3A, TR4, and Warwick GT.
They came from Cambridge Motor Sports in the UK when they were
in business. I think they were the same as what Ken sold at BFE.
        One of these sets went to Henry Frye. Watch out, they might be
on Ole Blue at the Kcup.

Need a Set? Buy my TR4, get the header.

It looks like Racetorations has a nice 4 to 1 race header.  It is expensive, but likely the best you'll find new.  Rimmer Bros also have a couple stainless headers for sale.

Hi.  What is everyone using for rod bearing clearances on the TR3/4
engines.  The competition manual says .001 extra.  The workshop manual
specs. says 2.0861 to 2.0866. with a  wear limit clearnce of   .005.   That
would me to  that 2.0801(2.0861 -.005,-.001 0) would be acceptable.  What
does the group think?  Thanks in advance.   Lorne Fritz

By the way, the Racetoration 4 to 1 header has equal length primaries.  The only other header that I know had equal length primaries was Stahl.   Darryl Uprichard, the owner of Racetorations, is easy to communicate with.  Send him an email with questions and if you would like to talked with him, just ask, he will call you.  
 
Cheers,
Dave H.

I second the comment about Darryl Uprichard.? He knows his stuff.??Racetorations is quick to ship if in stock.? I ordered their valve cover this past Sunday night and recieved it today, Wednesday.? About $40 for shipping.? This is far quicker than anything I have ever ordered from Moss, despite their having a distribution center less than 150 miles from my home in Raleigh.MarkSent from my Galaxy

Thanks Dean, the Cambridge headers are installed on Old Blue! 

The Cambridge headers are not the same as Ken Gillanders supplied to so
many of us over the years, but I have no doubt the same manufacturer was
responsible for making both. The primaries on Ken's header were
significantly shorter, the collector was on the straight section of pipe
under the starter. I have not had Old Blue on track yet with the
Cambridge header, but I made so many other changes this rebuild that I
am afraid I will not really be able to say what kind of difference they
make. 

Gillanders believed headers with the 1 5/8's inch primaries were the way
to go, he had all the fast TR3/4 racers in the east running them. The
vast majority of TR3/4 headers we see, and as Bob Kramer states, we all
have hanging on our walls, have smaller primary tubes, usually 1 1/2
inch. 

It seems every year or so a racer is looking for a header for a TR3/4,
and as there doesn't appear to be an obvious supplier, it turns into a
scramble. 

Do we know if somebody selling TR3/4 headers with the larger primary
tubes? 

We know a lot of work has been done comparing the length of the primary
tubes, but has anyone done any dyno work comparing headers with
different primary tube diameters???

Where are the Engine Masters when we need them? Some dyno time would be
terrific.

If my memory is working today, Cambridge sold these in two different
lengths. I bought
the long ones. Ken might have sold the shorter ones. It would not be hard
to shorten those
and move the collector up. Would make them easier to fit on a TR3A. I still
have a set on the
TR4. The ones you have were on the Warwick GT with 42 DCOE carbs.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

All,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  Just to let you know, I found a
Group 44 windscreen thanks to Mark Snay.  Much appreciated!

Ted, for the group, any update on your oven and when you might be able to
produce more screens?

Thanks!

Mark Cook

Subject: TR6 Group 44 type wind screen?

Trying to source a TR6 Group 44 type wind screen - mine is cracked.   I
checked with TSI a few months ago and he needed at least 5 orders to make
some new ones.  Also, checked with Aircraft Windshield Co, and they have the
mold for Spitfires, but not TR6's and would need the original to make a
mold.   Have an email into Huffaker Motorsport as well.  Any other sources I
should check?

Thanks,

Mark Cook
