While many of those are still ending up in my gmail spam folder (despite having them in my address books), at least I am now receiving them. Still receiving sporadic emails into my Mindspring account. With Mindspring being an older system (like AOL and Yahoo), thought it may not have been playing well in the sandbox with the FOT server. Given several FOT members also experiencing problems and some falling into my Gmail spam, leads me to believe it may be the FOT server that is struggling with the protocols of other servers. Gmail seems to work the best and is easy to set up an account. I know Mark Bradikis works hard to keep maintain the servers for the FOT and depends on donations from members. I believe Mark is maintaining about 25 mail list and 50 archives at this time. Everyone should read the link below to learn more about all Mark is maintaining for the various communities. I appreciate Mark's efforts in keeping the FOT community and others connected. http://autox.team.net/www/team-net.html http://www.team.net/archive/ Thanks, Mark Cook On Wed, Jul 1, 2026 at 10:13?AM Jason Ostrowski wrote: > Phil, This message got sent to my spam box.like many of the FoT emails. > I've told my computer many many times over the past couple of months that > FoT emails are not spam. > In spite of that, most of the FoT Messages do not reach my regular inbox. > Many people I talk to seem to have issues with recieving FoT messages > these days. > To our IT department.... > Anything that can be done to Fix this obvious ongoing problem? > Thanks > Jason Ostrowski > Friendly Ghost Racing > 1969 Triumph GT6+ racecars > > On Wed, Jul 1, 2026 at 6:57?AM Philip Gott wrote: > >> I?ve sent out two replies to a couple of FOT threads and neither has >> appeared after several days.

Boy, did I miss that part? I?could only watch, as my car was having none of it. I WILL see you all at Grattan next August, and I WILL have a compliant car! ? Still,?It was a good weekend, with great weather, and the Canadians put on a great event at a great track!? Thanks, Henry, for chairing the last two K Cups. The other reason I write today is to help a friend of a friend move a Tr3 project along to a new owner. The car is in the Bethlehem, PA area (I believe) and the price is right. Come and get it. It doesn?t look too bad (though?it does need everything touched), either? I don?t know anything more than what the photos show. If anyone is interested,?reach out, and I?ll get you a contact. I?ve got too many projects! Here are some photos: Thanks for all the fun, and let?s do it again, next year!

Like I mentioned earlier in my email below, the older servers such as AOL, Mindspring, and Earthlink may add to the issues, in combination with FOT security protocol. That is why I set up an Gmail email account which I use only for FOT emails. Some of those still go to Spam, but at least all of my emails to FOT are now making it out. Under Mindspring (Earthlink), I did not receive any FOT emails after a period of time. Earthlink was blocking all of them (not even sending them to spam). I do not have any problems with any other email list (whether under Mindspring or Gmail), so there may be an issue with the FOT list security protocol or maybe pushing forward one from the originating sender, which even Gmail is picking up. It was suggested to me by a friend in IT that some standard authentication protocols like SPF, DKIM, or DMARC may be missing. According to my inbox, incoming emails from FOT do not use TLS. I do not know enough about those to explain them.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Joe, The Texas FoT hosted the K Cup at Hallett in 2006 and Eagles Canyon in 2012. Both times we were light on attendance with 28 and 24 cars in attendance and that was back in the days when we had more local TxFOT cars than we do now. I think half of the cars at Eagles Canyon were TxFOT. Having just completed a 4,500 mile tow to Mosport, side trip to visit family included, I get it. I asked around the paddock to see if the racers in attendance would go to Hallett if we hosted and very few said yes. A couple more agreed that the Ozarks track would be more acceptable but that is a VSCDA tevent and still not interesting enough to attract the east coast guys. I talked with a board member with CVAR and he thinks that they would be willing to host us at Hallett in October or NOLA Motorsports Park April/May without question and mentioned that the lengthened and completely rebuilt Eagles Canyon races in the March or September were also potentially available. Currently the CVAR races at ECR are fully subscribed but the track is adding paddock space so that we can have room for more cars. I think I could muster up help from the TxFOT racers to host in 2028, but I personally would rather do a 2 day tow for an event with 40 cars than host an event with 20. I'm thinking the best CVAR option would be NOLA. It's a two day tow for many folks, in early May, or late April it hasn't got too hot yet, it has lots of space to paddock, it's fast and we'd have a lot of stroke with CVAR because it is undersubscribed. Also, it is in New Orleans. So, having said all that, if this is of interest to the larger group, I would want to work on a way to see how many would attend.

This is what I submitted, we will see what the editor changes! (I assume everyone knows Shawn is the editor of TVT!) ~~~ Shawn Frank wins the coveted Amici Triumph Award at the 2026 Kastner Cup The Amici Triumph Award is presented annually to the individual who best demonstrates the Spirit of Triumph Vintage Racing during the Kastner Cup event. I am thrilled to announce Shawn Frank was chosen as the 2026 recipient. For the first time the award went to a non-racer, and certainly nobody could be more deserving than Shawn for his tireless efforts to promote the marque. Shawn has supported the efforts of our race series for years, attending Kastner Cup race weekends all over North America with all the manpower and gear necessary to capture the action. It is obvious Shawn gets a real kick out of capturing the essence of race experience. In addition to taking thousands of pictures, he also live streams video for those of us not able to attend. But the real work starts back at his office, where he enthusiastically culls the extraordinary volume of data to find and publish the very best. Shawn leverages Facebook, posting photos and videos that are seen and enjoyed by the world. Shawn?s efforts have raised the visibility of Triumph Vintage Racing to levels we could never have imagined. As the race chair at both the Lime Rock event in 2025 and at Mosport this year, I worked closely with Shawn and immediately realized his talents and passion have made him an indispensable part of our team. Congratulations Shawn, and many thanks for a job well done! Henry Frye #29 ? TR250 ~~~ Shawn, I believe I speak for the entire FOT when I say thank you for your tireless efforts to promote us in ways we probably don't deserve! I enjoyed working with you these past two Kastner Cups, and was always confident when we needed something from you, all I had to do was ask and my expectations were exceeded. As an example, the dramatic group shot taken down at Moss Corner this year was Shawn's idea, it did turn out spectacular! I look forward to seeing you next year in Grattan, where nobody is going to ask me any questions about the event, right??? :-) Cheers Henry From continuedlegacy1 at gmail.com Sun Jul 5 16:50:08 2026 From: continuedlegacy1 at gmail.com (Shawn Frank) Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 17:50:08 -0500 Subject: [Fot] KCup 26 P11 Walter Hollowell Message-ID: Below is a link to high resolution photos for P11 Walter Hollowell during the Kastner Cup 2026 weekend at Mosport. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vjhrz80vhwks5inamtq36/ACLJG8In5Vv29KyYJ9CLk8A?rlkey=woswh59510zt47eyz912u5ba3&st=244vf2tq&dl=0 In case you need permission at a printer, here is a photographer statement: You have my permission to print these for personal use.

Sheesh. Yes, some people are having difficulties receiving all messages directly in their inbox. Some messages are marked as spam, some are just discarded outright by their mail system. I am trying to follow all the rules and regulations and RFCs, and keep up with current best practices. It ain't easy! Some of the problem is that my ISP is Comcast, and some other providers are blocking certain blocks of IP addresses, and autox.team.net has an IP in the blocked block. And some providers block this IP address explicitly due to various nefarious malware that has snuck onto the server over the years, and have not removed the IP address even years after the bad guys were tossed out. And I may have another bad apple, some things are just not right on the server, I'm working on that at the moment. It's a never ending battle. But there is hope for the future. I may change the domain for the lists to lists.team.net, and may or may not change the IP address. I will likely buy a new server, install a current version of Linux on it, with higher security levels, and migrate all the lists to Mailman 3, rather than try to keep the current ancient, unsupported versions of everything working. I'm running low on baling wire and chewing gum. The current server has been running for 3 years, well just two weeks short of 3 years. That's quite a long time, many eons in computer years: [root at autox bin]# uptime 16:45:49 up 1081 days, 21:32, 2 users, load average: 1.20, 0.85, 0.98 [root at autox bin]# I'm afraid if it ever does go down, it may not come back up again! So be it known your complaints are not falling on deaf ears, just ones a little hard of hearing. That's actually a reference to the fact that I have had "Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral" for over ten years. Remember the old saw "deaf in one ear, can't hear out of the other"? But as long as my health allows, I will continue to soldier on, your loyal, overpaid and underworked digital janitor. mjb.

I wanted to ask him about the car and how he liked the track, along with a number of other drivers and usual suspects, but the timing didn't work. I'd catch most of the drivers in their hauler, cooling down from the session. I needed to do paddock walks in the AM or after all sessions are done and more interviews. Note for next one. I will hopefully have better video equipment and figure out video editing. I have a ton of raw vid, but it is unedited. Mostly track action, as I clipped my phone to my camera and shot vids while shooting photos. Lots on my North American Triumphs Facebook page. Plans are to improve before Grattan.

I knew the car and the guy who owned it (no longer) from when I first started racing, his name is Mark Louks. I had his contact info but first attempts were dead ends, old phone and email, but tried a second email I had and it is active ( marklouks46 at gmail.com) he said I could pass it on. I hadn't spoken to him probably since before or around covid, but when he saw my email he called me, we chatted the other night for a long time and caught up a bit. In short, he sold the car to a real estate buddy who owns a warehouse among other things, and that is where whoever took the pics of the car(s) Here's a couple of interesting links mentioning Mark, note he was an FOT member "back in the day" Group44 SpitMag I'm gonna grab a sandwich and go see his shop in the Southwedge in the next week or two and he likewise would like to look mine over and come to spectate at Watkins Glen Sept. VRG event Cheers Brian PS - pic of 26A is my car, guy named Ed in PA (re)built it, I would not be a bit surprised if he modeled it after Mark's car -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello Membership! Need some help on trailer size and what will work. I had a 40' Exxis with living quarters that got totaled by a semi while bringing back a round tail Spit from VA. I had gotten this trailer specifically because it had an extra tall interior height and allowed me to do a steel ramp up system to carry two Spits. So far, any replacement trailers I can find have the longest garage area with living quarters at a 24 foot garage. So round tails and square tails are very close in overall length, basically a smidg'in less than 12' long for either one. So, a 24' box without a V nose in the front is tight at best, and I not sure it will even work. So, my question is there anyone out there that has put 2 spits in a 24' square box without a V nose? Is it possible and not have any car bumping damage from the towing movement? Help please. Mark L.

My final Kastner Cup photos Message-ID: Thank you for the kind messages and calls about the driver photo series from the Kastner Cup 2026 at Mosport. My wife Tammy, son Ethyn, and I had an amazing time hanging out with you all in Canada. Erich had a blast assisting once again, his third Kastner Cup with Media Credentials (Buttonwillow 2019, Lime Rock 2025, and now Mosport), and will be back once again in 2027 to aim and shoot. The father/son team extraordinaire consisting of Eric and Tim Langreder have sent some incredible shots, have assisted with social media posts, and have been afflicted with a sickness that we can all relate to, as well. I will be going through all of their shots for inclusion in The Vintage Triumph Magazine, but I wanted to finish my usual series of photos, per driver, multiple corners, multiple angles before moving on to the magazine. What a team, what a race group, what a track, what a race! Henry was right, Mosport is an amazing track, speaking from a media point of view. We just made history! Well done FOT. Great show!!! I am extremely honored to have been awarded the Amici Triumph Award by my Friends of Triumph. This is something I will cherish forever. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. This will be displayed with pride with some amazing stories of incredible people tied to it, told to any who will listen. Truly, thank you all so much! My final photos are out on social media (low resolution) and Dropbox files are shared to this email list with high resolution (printable) photos per driver for everyone that ran, P1 through P30, aside from a beautiful TR8 that wrecked, sadly, and a TR7 with "added everything", so not a Triumph-powered car. I got photos of both, but not a lot. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a fly on the wall. I hope the series wasn't too much. It was a lot of fun for me. Now to stuff a fraction of it into The Vintage Triumph Magazine (www.vtr.org). My photo count was 21,000+ and Erich's was 9800+ and the reality is that I may use 35 or 40 photos in the magazine, but they will be the best ones in the bunch... :-) Now you know why I like to at least share these photos to you all. I was really happy to see some of my photos on your collector cards. At least they are used. Please feel free to print and frame. You have my permission for personal use. If you have any problems downloading or printing your files, please let me know. OK, you've heard enough from me for a while. Thank you, everyone! See you next year in Michigan! *Shawn Frank* *The Vintage Triumph Magazine - EditorNorth American Triumphs (FKA Spitfire & GT6 Magazine) - OwnerContinued Legacy Photo - OwnerIowa British Car ClubFriends of Triumph - Media515-339-4228'71 Triumph Spitfire MKIV "Gertrude"* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

TR4A is slightly different and improved. TR4A has a horizontal/level flat with a number stamped just above the number 1 cylinder intake port. The number is 511695. It's easy to see. I think the latest TR4A heads also had aluminum push rod tubes. So some TR4A heads had steel tubes and later got aluminum. Other than that all 511695 stamped heads were the same. The earlier heads had 3/8" exhaust valve stems and 5/16" intakes. TR4A had 5/16" stems on both intake and exhaust. I believe the early heads used 3 springs on the exhaust valve as well.

Move it up too much and the timing chain becomes an issue as well as the input shaft. A long time ago I bought all the leftover Triumph stuff from a repair shop that once was a Triumph dealership, which included spare engine cores and among other things a box of loose bearing caps. There was a block without caps that was nice otherwise and I decided not to waste it. I was able to find a set of caps that was close when measured by the fingernail test. For all I knew they may have been the correct ones but had separated years earlier. My machinist line bored the block and reported back that the crank front to back angle was not aligned very well; tilted when compared to the camshaft bores, and that he had cleaned that up for me. I look back now and suspect that he was justifying a large bill but who knows. Years later I still have a couple of core engines I haven't used, stashed away. The only long term result of saving that block was a thinner wallet. All this stuff is fixable, including resetting the transmission alignment, if you want to spend the money. On a side note, we have also measured blocks where the figure 8 cylinder ledge was off when compared to the deck surface, and I've never measured a block where the deck and oil pan surface were aligned, so I don't deck the blocks.
