 awards presentation
Message-ID: <2d336a83e08b51069013a509673c0e25@tr4racer.com>

Attention Racers:

We will be doing our group photo just before we take the track after 
lunch. We will line up in the false grid as directed by the grid 
workers, when directed we will proceed to pit lane and stop in 
formation. The photos will be taken, and at the appropriate time we will 
be directed on track and run our final race of the weekend for the 
Kastner Cup!

Be prepared to proceed to the false grid by 1:10. We expect to be 
directed to the pit lane immediately after the Ragtime Racers clear the 
track from their lunchtime exhibition laps strapped in, helmuts on. We 
have a short window to get the photos taken during the opening 
ceremonies.

The Kastner Cup Awards Ceremony will take place at 3:00, 50 minutes 
after we come in, at Triumph Central, under the tent by the Team 
Alexander paddock.

Please pass this information on fellow competitors!

If anything changes, we will get the information out as soon as 
possible!

 Super fun weekend. I've been chasing tire pressure issues all year and got it together for the Cup race. Honestly, I was shocked that going softer with my rear bar would make a 1 second decrease in lap times, I didn't expect the race to last 18 laps, so that was super kool because there was a lot of traffic as the leaders caught up with the slower cars. I'm pretty sure I mentioned to the list how much time you can lose at Lime Rock with bad corner exit speed and you can see it in the lap times. In any case, I'm super stoked that I got back to my "normal" Lime Rock lap times after my Thompson crash last year. I'm also pretty stoked that as-of 10 days prior to the cup, my car had no driveline installed, a motor in pieces and a number of bits and bobs needed to get to the track. As Henry knows, I was in serious doubt that I'd make it with 2 weeks to go, but there you have it.
But the best part was hanging out with a bunch of Triumph folks and seeing some of the more recent "members" of the FOT really get the cars dialed in. Super kool! I also tried my darndest to get some younger folks interested in Triumphs by handing out 30 Hot Wheels TR6's. Speaking of that, it was really kool to see Dave Riddle and Todd Redmond getting kids (young and old!) to sit in the race cars for pix, etc during the Sunday in the Park - WELL DONE.
Sidebar to the Spitfire crowd - if you track down the ex Kent Bain car for the asking price - GET THE SETUP NOTES. I know that car does 1:03's at Lime Rock because I timed him a couple of times because I could not believe how fast it was. But that car is a STEAL at the asking price. Vintage Racing Services. 'Nuf said.Pretty sure those guys just tap the brakes to enter Big Bend and nowhere else.
Sorry about getting crossed up in the left hander in the opening lap, I think I was freaking out that I had jumped to 4th! That said, it seems the new motor is putting out some ponies. Next MoAH GEERZZ.

 I forgot to mention - the grid line-up ceremony took so long, I got zero vids of the cup race, so I can't wait to see the others. The Lime Rock live feed was kool when the announcers were talking about the actual on-track action else - not so much. Interesting, but not apropos.

the VRS car was sold on Saturday, I was told.  It was not the one that was racing, however, but another car in their pit area, I believe. Yes, seemed to be a bargain at $14k for a VRS-maintained car.  It belonged to one of their customers.

I'm not typically a big poster on FOT. That said, being a newbie to all of
this,I want to thank the whole FOT crew at Lime Rock for being generous
with information and overall being a great, welcoming group of guys and
gals!! Looking forward to more!

Thanks!

Subject: [Fot] Kastner Cup 2025 - Epilogue
Message-ID: <6b664b45229129dadaf82577a13fb2ed@tr4racer.com>

We were invited, we showed up in force, and we put on a great show for 
both the FOT and the world. It looks like the Lime Rock marketing 
machine will be do us proud, I look forward to see what becomes of all 
the work still going on behind the scenes.

Speaking of marketing, hats off to Shawn Frank for all his work for us, 
what a valuable member of our team. Thanks Shawn!

I want to thank everyone who came and supported the event. Racers, crew, 
and friends. Putting on a Kastner Cup takes teamwork, and while I might 
have been the seen as the guy pulling the strings, every one of you who 
was there, even in spirit only, were important to cause. You folks make 
it all work, as we know a club without active members isn't worth all 
that much.

For me, one of the coolest parts of any KCup weekend is getting to meet 
and spend some time with our FOT brethren. This event gave us ample 
opportunity to really get to know some of our racing friends, and I hope 
everybody took full advantage.

We had been planning on doing the awards ceremony at Triumph Central, 
under the tent by the Alexander paddock. We had 50 minutes from parking 
our cars after the race to start the presentation. I was informed the 
track wanted to do the presentation down in the A paddock at the 
winner's circle with about a half hour to go, and Skip Barber would be 
attending! So our team springs into action, circulates the word around 
the paddock (sorry to the folks who didn't get word in time), our stuff 
gets loaded into cars and shuttled down. I gather my thoughts, get 
cleaned up and ready for the presentation, find the winners circle with 
maybe 10 minutes to go. I get introduced to Skip, we are figuring out 
how this is all going to work, then I hear someone say David Hobbs is 
here. I turn to see David getting out of his golf cart, he walks over, 
we are introduced and he asks me "what do you want me to do?" I had 
known he was going to be there for maybe 30 seconds at that point! The 
notes I had jotted down for how the ceremony was to flow at this point 
are pretty meaningless, and it was time to wing it. Hopefully it didn't 
come off as haphazard as it seemed in my head! But heck, I got to 
introduce David Hobbs, that will probably be the highlight of my racing 
career!

To recap the awards recipients:

Kastner Cup - Dave Gott, TR4

Amici Award - Jason Ostrowsky
Performance Award - TR2-3 - Joe Boruch
Performance Award - TR4 - Tony Drews
Performance Award - TR250-6 - Henry Frye
Performance Award - TR7-8 - Tim Cook
Performance Award - GT6 - Alex Amys
Performance Award - Spitfire - David Gussack (KCup race winner)
Performance Award - Triumph Powered Special - Vic Schuster
Sponsor Award - Western Pennsylvania Triumphs Association
Sponsor Award - GoodParts
Sponsor Award - Alexander Racing Equipment
Honored Guest - David Hobbs

One of the event sponsors is Autodromo, and they present a fine watch to 
a participant from each group that embodies the spirit of the event. I 
was told the guy who does the presentation for Autodromo was on track at 
the moment, so I was asked to do the deed. While I don't think I had 
their spiel down all that well, I was proud to present the watch to my 
new racing buddy, Alex Amys!

I had to be reminded to announce the location of the next Kastner Cup, 
silly me as I am going to do this all again for next year. We are going 
to Mosport, currently known as the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, in 
Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. The home of the very first Kastner Cup. So 
mark your calendars for Father's Day weekend, 2026, ensure your passport 
is up to date, and stay tuned for more details as they become available!

Also, it was hard not to notice I was hobbling around wearing a back 
brace all weekend. At the track for the test day on Tuesday I did 
something my back didn't like and for a while there I was thinking I 
could not race. It took a village to keep me in the game, thanks to 
everyone who helped me physically so I would make it out and be part of 
the show. My time on-track was awesome, thanks to Bob Lang and Alex Amys 
for some great dicing and encouragement to finally turn some laps down 
in the 1:04's. I beat my best lap from last year by .185 seconds!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated. Job well done, looking 
forward to Mosport next year!

 During one of our sessions yesterday there were a number of large birds circling the area just outside the track (west of the downhill and could be seen as approaching West Bend. ?I thought perhaps Turkey Buzzards, and thought it a little ominous that they were circling something dead in the area. ?Joe(B)

 Hey, Henry-? It sounds like it was an amazing event.? Congrats to you and all the racers for putting on a great show.? I was awaiting updates and news daily.? I cannot understate how much of a bummer it was not being there, but there wasn't much I could do about it, unfortunately (long story). Sorry to hear about your back, I feel your pain, my back has been really bad (which had something to do with that long story...).? Anyway, thanks for doing such a great job.? I'm sure all of FOT is proud of you and your efforts!Be safe and well1Jay

for some great dicing and encouragement to finally turn some laps down 
in the 1:04's. I beat my best lap from last year by .185 seconds!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated. Job well done, looking 
forward to Mosport next year!

Are the Proxy RRR the go to tire ?
This past weekend at Lime Rock , I ran new Hoosier speedsters . After 5 heat cycles, they were absolutely rooted . Yeah, I ran them hard ? but still :-/

I believe Speedsters are the same compound as the , banned by most groups,
R7 pseudo slicks. I like the Hoosier TDRs. They last longer and are very
predictable. I have a set of the Proxies but, just me, I didn't know when
they were going to lose grip. I need some skid pad time with them, and a
camber change according to Hoosier to feel comfortable. I do use them for
rain tires and off track parade laps.
A good friend of mine loves his Proxies on his MGB, but I consistently out
handle him in the corners.

Tony,

 

I do not have as much experience as the rest of the group on vintage tires.  In March at the VDCA VIR Wild Hare, I ran a new set of Hoosier HOTDRs (24x7-15) for 1 qualifying, 4 races (I flat spotted one set in the first qualifying when I locked up).  My best session was the last race on Sunday with this set.  In April, I ran the same set for 4 more sessions at VIR again, running the tread down below spec.  I understand the HOTDRs are actually the same compound as R7s.   I have not run RRRs, but understand they are a little harder compound, and might last longer.

 

Sorry I missed everyone at Lime Rock ? wish I could have been there, but was fun watching on youtube.

 

For what it is worth.

Hi,

 

I run A7 on the IMSA TR8. They seem to last well. I run down the tire first, before the compound shows any change.

Next year I will try the Speedster on my TR4 for the first time. Curious how they will perform.

 

Cheers

Chris

It was so good to see all the great cars this weekend.  I am glad I made it back from Utah in time to see the races on Monday.  I have been mapping out my plans as we have a 2nd spit ready to come out of mothballs for next year.  I wanted to get info on the tires as I want to test on them and make adjustments to the car(s) to accommodate the change.  It appears the TDR is a good predictable tire and would not require too much change on my car from slicks.   May need to play with rear camber a little bit. Excited to try them out.

I currently run the Speedsters and used to run the R888Rs.  I find the performance new to be pretty similar.  However, the R888R tends to get loose and greasy when hot, 2/3 of the way through a race in the summer, where the Speedster holds up better for the duration.  Speedsters wear faster,  and cost more.  Toyos wear like iron, but after 10-12 heat cycles they are not as good.  I used to have the Toyos shaved, no need to do that with the Speedsters.
Just my 2 cents - running 205/60-13s on the GT6. 
Can?t find good info on the R7 compound.  Someone could call Hoosier and ask.  
TDRs are a bias ply tire and don?t like negative camber (according to the Hoosier engineers) where the radial Speedster works well with it.  I run almost 3 degrees negative front and rear.  Lots of effort to switch between the two tires and compare.  Looking at cars with TDRs on the track, they tend to ?drift? more.  Fun to watch, and seem to be quick.

Here's my video from the KCup race. While not in the thick of things for 
all that long, there is some fun with Bob Lang and Alex Amys, after an 
exciting start. There was also a little traffic out there to get 
through!  :-0

I was gridded 9th and finished 5th. Or 4th, if they penalize the dark 
blue #18 Spitfire for passing under yellow on the last lap or so!

Henry and team, this was an absolutely amazing event for me behind the
camera and I caught angles that spectators can't access. Thank you so much
for the blood, sweat, tears, and passion that shown through in every
aspect. Incredible teams, outstanding racing, and a well organized event. I
took well over 12,000 shots with my trusty old Nikon and 15+ videos of
paddock walks, grid walks, interviews, and as much as I could capture with
my phone. Erich also took another 8000+ with my backup Nikon.

If you are on Facebook, you can see the vids and shots I took with my phone
to show everyone as quickly as possible, but my real work now begins,
editing. I will have coverage in print as well in The Vintage Triumph
Magazine, VTR's club magazine.(
https://www.vintagetriumphregister.org/secure/signup)

For the FOT, I shot every corner aside from West Bend at multiple angles of
every Triumph. I plan to feature each racer in finishing order on my North
American Triumphs FB page. I even got the #65 TR4A on track Friday and
Saturday before #7 and #8 cam lobes decided to exit stage right (Sat AM)
through a new custom breather hole out the side of the 4000+ hour Baja TR3
engine (impressive) that was transplanted to the bright green TR4A, so we
got just about everyone in the false grid group shot, which I will start on
first after work tonight. Then, a bigger feature for our 2025 KCup
Champion, David Gott, so on and so forth.

If any of you see your photos on Facebook (low resolution) and want them in
high resolution for posters and print, please reach out to me, either by
email, text, a call, or FB messenger. My contact info is below in my
signature. Give me a little bit of time and I will get it done.

I won't charge any FOT members for photos, although I never turn down a
donation. I owe you all a lot of thanks for making it possible for this
Iowa boy to live his dreams of traveling to bucket list tracks that I've
wanted to go to since I was a little kid. What a special thing to walk the
paddock and see smiling friends' faces to make the dream a reality!

Excellent show, my Friends of Triumph! The Triumph part is secondary to the
Friends part of the name, tenfold.

Stay tuned, more to come! Here is one of my favorite shots so far, from my
phone before looking at any camera memory cards.

Thank you, thank you!

Hey Team!
First of all, what an Honor to be awarded the Kastner Cup; imagining my name next to both my Triumph?heros and friends (and sometimes both!) is super special! ?I?m truly humbled and honored at the same time. ? ?If Henry was going to make me speak, I would have said, ?It?s not my fault - I was in competition in a TR, 2 months before I was born, and learned to be a flashlight holder for Dad before I could talk very well!? ? I often tell people asking about racing a Triumph, it?s half working on them (for enjoyment of course) and half racing them that?s fun, and another half?the community! ?I?ve learned a lot about community racing?Triumphs over the last several years, and?that has become the most important element in racing!
Here?s my in car video. ?I lost the rear camera battery about half way through, which is the ?good? sound, so apologies for wind noise after that. ? ?On the last lap there was some passing under yellow when I had to check up, but it made for a miraculous pass with a bumper ahead across the line!!
I?ll upload the other races to the playlist / channel soon.
Thanks FOT, for all the help and encouragement through the last several years!
Sincerely,Dave Gott

I was gridded 9th and finished 5th. Or 4th, if they penalize the dark 
blue #18 Spitfire for passing under yellow on the last lap or so!

Henry - that was not a dig! ?You did an awesome job on juggling everything, and I?m glad I didn?t have to speak!!! ? There was nothing amiss at all - it was an awesome, well run event!
Also, enjoyed your video very much!!!?
Thanks for all you did to pull the K Cup off; that?s a ton of behind the scenes work!

What is the stock thickness of a late cylinder head?

&  (just in case) does anyone have a decent engine they would sell? Could
be stock, up to "mild" race.

Henry

Kudo's for a great event. I just ran the numbers in my head and I've been
to 14 and raced at eight FoT gatherings including the earlier Mid Ohio
reunions. This one ranks right up there with the best of them.  Between
your efforts, the general FoT camaraderie, the paddock location and
groupings, the track's wonderful approach to our  featured group and the
weather, OMG, what weather, it couldn't have been much better. I know I
should have heeded your advice and done the test day so I was still
learning on Monday, but I had the best time on track in many a year.

We did a, shall I say, bonzai, drive home and made the 29 hour tow in 2
very long days.  Between the success of this trip (Barbara had a great
time), my personal unfinished business at Mosport from 2003, and the
likelihood of a very similar number of Triumph's, I'm hoping we can make it
in 2026. Do you know the weekend yet?

Thanks so much for the fun, hospitality, and the effort you put into being
a very, very good host for all of us.
All the best,

Bob

Next year's Kastner Cup winner better start preparing their speech now,

Hello all,

This had to have been one of the best Kastner Cups ever!  Thanks Henry for
organizing such a great event at a fantastic track/facility.  It was great
to hang out with old friends and meet some new ones (just relax Tim Cook!)

I did the Tuesday practice day, and having that gap from the practice day
and the Sunday break made it feel like a relaxing vacation.  The event was
well run and my wife appreciated the driver's lounge.  That was a nice
touch.

My weekend ended early during the Monday morning race.  I think I broke my
oil pump.  Of course, I fitted a brand new one before this weekend because
I didn't know any better.  Oh well, hopefully I caught it before any
serious damage.

Here are some of my videos from the weekend.  The Saturday afternoon race
went well for me.  I turned a fast enough time to qualify 5th for the
Sunday morning race.

I was only able to do a few laps on Monday, but things seemed to be going
well until the oil pressure went away.  I happened to glance at my
gauges into the uphill turn and noticed the low oil pressure.

Well, there's always next year.  See you at Mosport!

Tom,
         I believe the GT6+ heads (9.2:1 compression) started at 3.30"
thick, and the MK3 (8.0:1) heads were about 3.40".

I've heard some of the MK3's came with an even thicker TR6 head, and domed
pistons.  I've not had one of these in front of me to confirm.

Henry,

Shelby and I had a blast.  Thank you for coordinating to put all of
the Triumphs together for the six track sessions.  I am sure those of us
back markers provided a few moving chicanes...but hopefully not too much
interference with the leaders.
Over the course of the weekend, our red Spit didn't seem to be paced with
any of the other Spitfires, but it did give us a chance to battle with a
few TR3s.

And wow, those three VRS Spits and their pilots were impressive!

Cheers, Dave and Shelby

Hi Tom,  I have 2 good engines. An early one with a step in the head$300
and a low milage later one$500.  Don't know if they are of interest, don't
know if the price is fair and don't know how to get them to you.  I'm in

I don't know, Dave. I think it is a rite of passage for winning the 
Kastner Cup to be put on the spot and come up with something to say at 
the awards ceremony!

I recall I had not given it any thought when my name was called in 
Pittsburgh in 2022, and from what I remember, it showed!

Bob, thanks for the kind words. It was well worth the effort.

I did my own tally and realized we are quite similar in the numbers, if 
we include Mid Ohio 2002 I have raced 10 and attended another 2 as a 
spectator. While my track record for finishing KCup weekends may be a 
bit better than yours, certainly the enjoyment factor we experience is 
the same! These Kastner Cup events serve so many purposes, and this 
year's event will put Triumph Vintage Racing in front of many new pairs 
of eyes.

We got kudos from all sides on how well the Triumphs ran, how racy we 
were, and how well we played with each other. Once we got past the early 
event on-track breakdowns, (Yeah, you guys know who you are!) everything 
settled in and our racers performed quite well, putting on a show that 
did not go unnoticed. Of particular note are several racers who had 
never driven the track before and quickly came up to speed on a 
surprisingly difficult track.

Well done everyone!

Dave,

Backmarkers are a part of racing. Moving fast through a field of slower 
cars is just another skill racers develop. You just keep doing what you 
are doing! I found all our drivers to be very predictable, which is key 
to good, fast, clean racing. Well done to all those folks who thought 
they were in the way, but in reality, were adding context to a fun 
experience!

As a New Englander, I have been racing with those Spitfires from Vintage 
Racing Services my entire race career. When VRS owner Kent Bain was 
racing the white/green Spitfire (the one for sale in the paddock that 
has been discussed here) they never put him in the Small Bore group, 
they put him in Mid-Bore. And he always finished on the podium, more 
often than not on the top step. That shop has some real talent behind 
the wheel, and they know how to prep a Spitfire to GO. I wasn't the 
least bit surprised to see David Gussack as the class of our field in a 
VRS prepared Spitfire!

Good morning everyone, sounds like the Kastner cup was amazing. Can't wait
to watch the in car action. I have sponsored a bronze sponsorship for the
2025 British car day on September 21,2025. Myself and Mike Deweerd are
promoting VARAC and the Kastner cup. There are generally over 1000 British
cars and several thousand British enthusiasts. The Triumph Club has given
us a spot at the main building front and center. Fantastic exposure. The
club wants me to give them some watermark logos or something they can use
on their website. Mike and myself will have his TR8 and my TR4A on display.
All the best Matt Molson

 Just a quick note of thanks to Henry and the team for a great event last week. Being the new guy, it was great to race at a track that's always been on my bucket list and to put faces to the names of so many of you.
The car (#75 Halkias PLN) misbehaved quite a bit and the hot laps I was able to run were minimal. Then, in the final, just as I was starting to feel things in the car, the throttle linkage broke. (This was after an alternator failure, a throttle cable failure, a stuck throttle, etc... Drove one session with stuck throttle. Imagine braking and gassing at the same time for 20 minutes there.)
I had help with all these issues and want to thank Jerry VanVlack (my Triumph Godfather), Bob Lang and Ned Sparrow especially. I learned a lot from these guys. I also want to thank my paddock neighbors, Claude, Todd, Dave and Lyman for their help and patience as I'm sure we were bugging them at some point. A couple other guys came by to help but they came and went before I found out who they were. Thank you if one of them was you.
It was fun and the event was run flawlessly from my viewpoint. Congratulations to the winners. Again, well done Henry and team!

 Here's my video from the KCup race. While not in the thick of things for 
all that long, there is some fun with Bob Lang and Alex Amys, after an 
exciting start. There was also a little traffic out there to get 
through!? :-0

I was gridded 9th and finished 5th. Or 4th, if they penalize the dark 
blue #18 Spitfire for passing under yellow on the last lap or so!

Henry,
The 2026 Grand Prix should be from thursday June 18th till Sunday June 21st.

Hopefully Coleen will verify this for you shortly.

Matt and myself will do whatever you need done on this side of the border
to help make the return to Mosport the best Kastner Cup ever.
We would like to see the corner one paddock turned into the Triumph Ghetto.
I have Triumph signs and a Kastner Cup banner as well as FOT flags.
I'm sure we can set something up for the  Kastner awards in the tent or in
the grass next to the paddock
I also have a few ?Mosport? Beer Glasses we can add in as trophies for
longest haul and such.
Cheers
Mike

There's someone in our TR club (Illinois Sports Owners Association) with a
free TR4 frame with suspension available. He wants it gone soon, or he is
going to scrap it. Here is his ad

* I have a TR4 frame that I need to get gone ASAP. It is straight and seems
to be rust free - the only damage I can see us at the very front of the
frame and is shown in one of the attached photos . It will roll, but I do
not have wheels for it. I don't want to have to scrap it as it seems to be
in such great shape, but that will be it's fate if I can't find a taker in
the next few days. It's located near Monee, IL which is about 8 miles south
of I-80 just off of I-57.*

If anyone on here would like this, contact me and I will forward the
contact information.

Joe

A group of us in Texas got together and bought some of these.  I
coordinated and bought a few from Racetorations and a few of the
comparable ones from Triumph Special Tuning.  The gaskets were virtually
identical, with one coming shrink wrapped and the others in bulk.  I have a
couple on the shelf and if you want to try one I could part with one.

Message-ID: <2bc50872-666f-f264-c982-3a36717171cd@mindspring.com>

All,

While very disappointed at not making it to the Kastner Cup at LP, I have enjoyed following all the emails and glad it was so successful.  Congrats to a well run event!

So, ran in the HSR VIR Historics this past weekend.  Was a lot of fun, but not much representation of British cars, much less mine being the only Triumph.  A couple MGBs and a GSM Dart.  Pretty much ran in the middle of the pack.

VIR being my home track, I did not participate in the track orientation and practice sessions scheduled for all day on Thursday.   When I arrived around 3pm Thursday for registration, the track was eerily quiet.  I learned it was closed for the day around 1000am when Joe Nemechek had a horrible crash in the NASCAR practice session.  I was told, Nemechek, in his 2008 NASCAR Toyota Camry, lost his brakes at T14 at about 180mph, went off into a barrel roll bouncing into and over the tire wall, which catapulted him over the catch fence into the trees.  The trees ripped the roof off his car, and tree limbs tore his face shield off.  I understand fortunately, he was able to exit the car under his own power, but was hospitalized and may have sustained an eye injury.  He has been released from the hospital.  I wish him a speedy recovery.  Scary stuff.

There were three qualifying sessions on Friday. Q1 was simply shaking some rust off and getting a feel for the other cars in Group 3, but still ran a 2:20 for P9 out of 24 cars. Temps during Q2 at 1:05pm were in the 90s with a hot greasy track, and could not find my rhythm, running a best 2:22 and dropping from P9 to P13 out of 24 cars. Then, while not fast, found some consistency in Q3 and ran 5 of 7 laps all at 2:22.5+/- finishing P10 out of 19 cars.

Q3 Qualifying session:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AqqmWwnie0

Link to Saturday's Race 1 for Group 2/3.  Car was running great, driver was somewhat improved, with a 2:18.6.  Started P13, gained a few positions on the start and finished P10.  There were a lot of fast Porsches which claimed the podiums all weekend.  Out of the top 10 cars, five were Porsche 911s, one 914/6, a 944 along with a Ford Mustang and Capri, then my TR6.  So, I was pretty happy considering the company. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBNfZPHQ3Vk&amp;t=562s

Saturday's Race 2 ended up only 3 laps due to red flag, but had a decent lap of 2:19.  Sunday was basically a wash out for me with constant rain and I had no rain tires.  They scratched the NASCAR historics, and the LMP race only had two cars which was like watching a leap frog training session, and hard to see the cars due to the rooster tails.

I clearly need to clean my camera lense which was coated by debris from a car going off track in qualifying.

Thanks!

Fastenal used to have a freight program where you could ship between Fastenal locations on their trucks.  Not sure if they still do it, but it was reasonably priced and good for bulky items.  If there is a Fastenal location on each side of your transaction, it might be worth looking into.

Tom,
I've used goship.com multiple times.  It shows rates from a number of LTL

Amici,
I was thinking about the Piston Cup awarded ?during the?Lime Rock Historic Festival this year, given to the ?behind the scenes mechanic who makes it all happen. ? This has a bit of a parallel with the Kastner Cup, since 25% of the award is based on car prep as Kas put in the rules. ? I would be remiss if I didn?t talk about how that part applies this year?and how meaningful it is.
I had mentioned for a brief moment about holding flashlights for Dad when I was a kid, as a hint and a nod, but there?s a lot more to that story. ? I could go on for days about what I?ve learned and applied from all the coaching and teaching I?ve received throughout the years. ?But I?ll paint a couple of quick pictures instead. ? ?Dad taught a lot about innovation and rule following at a young age. ?We are talking Pinewood Derby. ? I would run tried and true in the normal kids class, and the parents would have an?exhibition? class - which Dad would win. Followed by a rule change for next year. ?Meticulous preparation was kind of the point? not the rule change; I guess not everybody has a lathe.)
On to Triumphs, which has huge depth for us, so it?s hard to give the big picture in few words. ? I live an hour away from Dad and I keep my car at his place? first, thanks even for that!! ? I?ve said for a while that I?m the only knucklehead loving an hour from a car that takes this much work! ? ?We?ve worked on Triunphs together all my life, and it?s a connection for us to say the least. ?When we first got the green number 80, we have been able to spend a TON more time together! ? It?s been quite an effort over the years getting the green car solid and reliable. ?Bill Throop?s(the original owner)?daughte Gretchenr, had reached out after I blew it up one time a few years ago and said,? we were always swearing at that car!? ? The swearing has decreased a huge amount over the last few years, and turned the other way into affection, and I think the car likes it. ? You can imagine all of the help I receive from Dad behind the scenes, with him testing new ideas on his car, and then we apply to the Green car, occasionally with me adding come color to a great idea. ?Needless to say about all of the phone calls or texts about ?I forgot to do XYZ? when I was there, and Dad jumps to action since I?m not right around the corner. ??
I was telling Henry at the beginning?of the cup weekend, that something bad typically happens to me during the Lastner Cuo race itself. ?I?ve had gremlins pop up and mess with the carbs, which is typically ignition as we all know. ?Or Ignition problems that?s really carb problems, or worse..? ?At Road America, I had a brain problem and could not tell my foot to press the brake pedal in turn 6 after I used up all my gray cells. ? Well, this year it came together for me. ? The car has been absolutely rock solid all year long, running a few extra events more than usual. ?So Rock solid, the only issue was from a rock to the radiator at Thompson! ? I cannot tell you what a Herculean feat that has been especially with the Green #80 and its long history of being a really fast grenade! ?And so, I really have a huge amount of thanks and appreciation to Phil Gott, my Dad, for getting us to the top, and helping us win the Kastner Cup as a team!
Sincerely,Dave Gott

Joe,

 

When you shipped your engine, was it just the head and block or with carbs, alternator, starter, etc. attached?

 

Thanks,

I ship my Miata engines in a specific engine shipping container.  I made a steel frame in the container to secure the engine.  The small block Chevy engine container (Scribner Plastics 5108CHEV Engine Case on Amazon for $267) works well.  With the cost of lumber and the time to make a crate, it might be easier to buy and use the container.  It's been costing me around $500 to ship from MA to KS via FedEx Freight.

Howdy folks, I?ve had these CSS 15x7 wheels on the shelf since I got my car in 2010. Unfortunately, these are WAY too big for the VSCCA regs.?
I?d love to sell them to an FOT person.??Maybe?$40/wheel? Lug bolts are included.?They need to have a new lease on life. I don?t need them. (So make an offer!)
Anyone building a monster street car?

PS: I had a GREAT time with the folks who came to race at Lime Rock for the Kastner Cup, and I am really looking forward to next year?s event in Canada. It will be well?worth the tow, for those who com from afar. Great track, GREAT hospitality. Different drone LRHistorics, for sure??More down to earth.
It was nice to reconnect with racers I met?at?K Cups on?the west coast and make new friends who came to my closest track.?
See you all next year!

I was looking thru an old file and came across these pics from Lime Rock in the late 1970s.  I think this was raced by Ralph Winslow from Ohio.  Does an FOTer have this car?  JoeB

Lyman,
         Lori Anton was selling any APT parts that were still left in
inventory at the time of Dave's passing.  I was able to buy some Spitfire
cams and tappets this way.  It may be worth reaching out to her to see if
there are any wet liner engine bits available.

First weekend back after an epic trip out East - Lime Rock then Watkins 
Glen.

Here's the video from the Lime Rock weekend.? Thankfully my front camera 
battery waited until the cool-down lap on the Kastner Cup to die.

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Monday September 1 2025 Afternoon 
Kastner Cup Race
A solid mid-pack run.? First couple of laps are entertaining, then we 
get strung out.? Phil Gott keeps me honest chasing me.? My best lap time 
is 1:08 and change.? There's more speed out there if I'm braver.
https://youtu.be/0D0dE1seIRU

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Saturday August 30 2025 Morning 
All-Triumph Race (short)
Fun while it lasted.? I move up several places, but we only get 5 laps 
of racing due to someone's blown engine cutting the session short.? I go 
from about 21st to 15th or 16th.
https://youtu.be/PDyncoQZKoc

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Saturday August 30 2025 Afternoon 
All-Triumph Race
Fun race, not a ton of passing but not lonely.? I go from about 21st to 
18th.
https://youtu.be/y32loLTglQw

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Monday September 1 2025 Morning 
All-Triumph Race
Good racing at the beginning, I generally had someone to chase, good run 
with Walt Hollowell at the start.? I turn my fastest lap of the weekend 
on the last lap of this one.

Thanks for the replies.. sent Lori at APT an email earlier.. awaiting a reply.. Will contact Brian tomorrow..
Will make trip to LA to deliver blown crankshaft to Marine Crankshaft this week.. Hope to return with cams & lifters to Phx. Both engines in process, crankshafts, cams & lifters are the priority!

SVRA Watkins Glen, Sat Sept 6 2025, Group 1,3,4 race
It rained all morning, we are first afternoon race.? It stopped raining 
right before we were to head to the grid early for the "Fan Walk" and 
opening ceremonies.? We got the "Drivers start your engines" command 
which is always cool.? I take it easy at first since there's basically 
nothing by walls around the track and price of failure is high.? A 
couple of guys get by me, but I reel them in and have a good time trying 
to pass them.? It doesn't work but is fun anyway.? Despite the iffy 
conditions I go faster than my qualifying time.
https://youtu.be/3urqV3IQzTw

SVRA Watkins Glen, Sun Sept 7 2025, Group 1,3,4 race
Late morning race.? Track conditions are perfect.? I have fun chasing 
down Peter Uzdavinis in a spridget.? I manage to get down to 2:26 and 
change lap time.? They send me to the Podium while it should have been 
Greg Thompson who was ahead of me exiting the track.? I have footage of 
driving to winner's circle at the end...

First weekend back after an epic trip out East - Lime Rock then Watkins 
Glen.

Here's the video from the Lime Rock weekend.? Thankfully my front camera 
battery waited until the cool-down lap on the Kastner Cup to die.

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Monday September 1 2025 Afternoon 
Kastner Cup Race
A solid mid-pack run.? First couple of laps are entertaining, then we 
get strung out.? Phil Gott keeps me honest chasing me.? My best lap time 
is 1:08 and change.? There's more speed out there if I'm braver.

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Saturday August 30 2025 Morning 
All-Triumph Race (short)
Fun while it lasted.? I move up several places, but we only get 5 laps 
of racing due to someone's blown engine cutting the session short.? I go 
from about 21st to 15th or 16th.

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Saturday August 30 2025 Afternoon 
All-Triumph Race
Fun race, not a ton of passing but not lonely.? I go from about 21st to 
18th.

Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Monday September 1 2025 Morning 
All-Triumph Race
Good racing at the beginning, I generally had someone to chase, good run 
with Walt Hollowell at the start.? I turn my fastest lap of the weekend 
on the last lap of this one.

Cheers, Tony Drews

Practice 1

Session got stopped for a couple minutes to drag a car off Track that was stopped under the Bridge at the Downhill. Then the Session got cut short as a car had laid down oil on the Right-hander. I and another car spun off Track from that oil. This was my first ever laps at Lime Rock Park. Goal for the weekend was a sub 1:09<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFibCFw_WHg&t=69s>. For this session I got down to a 1:11<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFibCFw_WHg&t=71s>.277

Practice 2

Afternoon practice session at Lime Rock Park. First lap went immediately Yellow/Black due to a car that went off right at Pit Out as we exited the Pit Lane. Then we were back to Green for the rest of the session. Lots of passing and being passed as we continued to learn the Track. Only managed to get a 1:11<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh5o_hTS5X8&t=71s>.271 lap time. Not enough power on the straights although I make up lots of time/distance under braking and in the curves of Big Bend, Left-hander and the Right-hander

Qualifying Race 1

Our Qualifying and weekend ended far too soon with the detonation of the motor on the Sam Posey Straight. The motor for this car was still being built so the motor and transmission from the BajaTriumph TR3 was swapped in to be used. That motor had probably close to 4,000 Race miles on it over the 7 years since it was built. Two Bajas, Three Kastner Cups (Pittsburgh, RoadAmerica and Sonoma) plus Laguna Seca and untold Track and Off-testing miles in Arizona. I've included some in-car from Rick, Todd and Sean as they were behind me when the motor blew. From Todd's camera, if you jump to the 7:50<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P76ReudIyUI&t=470s> mark, you can see that he and Sean almost hit each other in Big Bend! Also added photos of the damage to the internals of the motor at the end.

I've finally got my video uploaded from the Kastner Cup. Never having been
to Lime Rock previously I foolishly skipped the Test and Tune session and I
tried to shorten the learning curve. I think I started 24th and ended up
15th, so you'll see me passing and being passed!
