Subject: [Fot] TR O-ring for oil cooler adapter
Message-ID: <CH2PR04MB68562FBE797BE35026EEB3FFB4132@CH2PR04MB6856.namprd04.prod.outlook.com>

Does anybody know where I can get the O-ring/seal that goes between the spin-on-oil adapter and the oil cooler fitting. I got these once before but can't find them again. It is the round adapter.

It measures 2-1/8 ID and 2-3/8 OD



Thanks, Mike

Message-ID: <CAAGAaPWr2tJ5n8-GDsOb=BQVLLJ-B7k9MYOVLnTZN=kAeBNUAg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All.
 I am ready to paint a GT6 frame and I would like it silver or a shade of
silver. Unfortunately almost all the chassis paints are black. There is one
in the UK that is silver but I don't think I want to deal with trying to
get it here. Any suggestions for possible finding a tintable chip resistant
chassis paint?
                               Thanks.  P.J.

Message-ID: <MN2PR14MB26553CFFE802C2643C3F0A6DB51E2@MN2PR14MB2655.namprd14.prod.outlook.com>

Last year I asked Henry which Class we should register the TR4 in.  Henry stated...

"I suggest putting yourself in Group 2B - Over 1:47.5. If you break out and go faster, you automatically advance to the next fastest group."

So I registered us in Group 2B.  Looking at the Roster I see LOTS of similar and maybe faster TR4's running in VH 5 which is the Over 1:50 group.

Currently in VH 4 there are just two TR4. Myself and Bob Kramer. The other Triumphs in that group are GT6.

In the under 1:47 VH 3 Class I see Dave Gott, Tony Drews, Chuck Gee and Michael Deweerd in TR4s

Meanwhile in the Over 1:50 Class I see Matt Molson, Brendon and Sean Alexander, Phil Gott and Greg Thompson.

So the question is should I request to be moved to VH 5 or stay in VH 4 and expect that some of the TR4 and the Ambro currently in VH 5 are gonna get bumped up to VH 4 once they start putting down some laps?

Have you driven Mosport before? For me the competion at Mosport is not the other entries, it?s the track. It?s the most intimidating track I?ve ever raced on, and I suspect I?ve covered more tracks than 99.9% of amateur racers. I wouldn?t spend ten seconds worrying about what group I?m in. I?d be too busy trying to grow a third nut so I could drive the track close to my limit without sitting too long in the car after each session trying to decide if I?m still having fun. Off-camber, blind, downhill turns that you can?t touch your brakes or steer to correct for even a minor error if you?re actually at competitive speed. I loved it, hated it, had the shit scared out of me, and never did a single corner the same way twice. I have no recollection of where I finished in the group I raced with?probably somewhere in the back of the pack. A very unusual place for Peyote, which almost always got put in a group that should have easily beaten it, but almost never did.

Hello,
I use RustOleum over Dupont DP epoxy primer on the frame.  Both in quarts, and through a sprayer.  Rattle can touch-ups are easy and a perfect match and available anywhere.  My TR3 frame in gray and my trailer in silver.  All TR suspension and chassis parts in just RustOleum after media blasting.  Rear axle housing and cover too.  
RustOleum is my go to, for just about everything, except body.  
Roll bar is powder coated as is brake master box and front sway-bar mount.

Last year I asked Henry which Class we should register the TR4 in.  Henry stated?

So I registered us in Group 2B.  Looking at the Roster I see LOTS of similar and maybe faster TR4?s running in VH 5 which is the Over 1:50 group.

Currently in VH 4 there are just two TR4. Myself and Bob Kramer. The other Triumphs in that group are GT6.

In the under 1:47 VH 3 Class I see Dave Gott, Tony Drews, Chuck Gee and Michael Deweerd in TR4s

Meanwhile in the Over 1:50 Class I see Matt Molson, Brendon and Sean Alexander, Phil Gott and Greg Thompson.

So the question is should I request to be moved to VH 5 or stay in VH 4 and expect that some of the TR4 and the Ambro currently in VH 5 are gonna get bumped up to VH 4 once they start putting down some laps?

I use transstar epoxy for paint jobs that start on bare metal. It?s a very hard and durable DTM. It can chip like any paint. 

On a street car, I top coat it with a stone chip material in wheel wells then shoot that with BC/CC of choice. It will also chip though just a softer finish that will kinda deflect the small stuff w/o chipping. 

So for simplicity on a race car frame just use the epoxy and leave it. Touch it up after a few years of chips.

Dave,

I understand your concerns, but I believe the best thing for everyone to 
do is sit tight until after you get a couple sessions under your belt on 
the Thursday test day. Once you get a better idea of what kind of lap 
times you will be running, that is when we will go back to the race 
director and make group changes. I have no doubt knowing our racers and 
seeing where folks have grouped themselves, we will be making 
adjustments!

There are a lot of details getting ironed out in the background as we 
speak. The last thing VARAC needs at this point is racers who have never 
turned a wheel at the track second guessing their lap times and asking 
to be moved! There will be plenty of time on Thursday after the track 
goes quiet to look at lap times and shuffle the groups as needed.

falling into place, this is going to be a KCup to remember!

I reached out to the Race Director, we will not have the benefit of 
timing and scoring on Thursday. I suggest people prepare to have your 
crew put a stopwatch on you during your test day laps, find out where 
your comfort zone is, and on Thursday after the track goes quiet we can 
figure out where you will fit in best.

I will say it again, I think several of us were quite conservative while 
chosing their run group!

I'm back on home turf after 9 days abroad, full steam ahead on planning!

I've gone back and forth with Ted Michalos, VARAC's Race Director, Ted 
is the guy managing the Classing issue. Here is how we are going to make 
sure everybody is as close as possible to where they need to be, and 
make Ted's (and my) life easier!

Everybody who has not run Mosport for some time is required to run the 
test day. I believe Bill Babcock's comment cements the rationale behind 
that! Racers will want to find someone to put a stopwatch on one of 
their later sessions on Thursday, or if you use an in-car lap timer, 
perfect! Another scenario is run your in-car camera and put a stopwatch 
on the playback. Once you have experienced the track and have some lap 
times, find me in the paddock. If you still have questions, I am happy 
to talk them through with you. I can help you decide what group you 
should start in. I will collect everyone's request for a group change 
and present them all at once to Ted. I will mark up a spreadsheet and my 
intention is to get it into Ted's hands no more than one hour after the 
track goes quiet on Thursday.

Practice and qualifying will take place on Friday. As you figure out how 
to find more time on track, hopefully you will bust out of your bracket. 
That is a good thing! If you want/need to move groups, you will need to 
find Ted and request to be changed.

Ted will be broadcasting some further instructions through 
MotorsportsReg shortly, they should jive for the most part with my 
instructions here.

Stay tuned, more to come.

I reached out to the Race Director, we will not have the benefit of
timing and scoring on Thursday. I suggest people prepare to have your
crew put a stopwatch on you during your test day laps, find out where
your comfort zone is, and on Thursday after the track goes quiet we can
figure out where you will fit in best.

I will say it again, I think several of us were quite conservative while
chosing their run group!

Many of you know Bruce Stutzman and what the Western PA Triumph Association has done in support of previous Kastner Cups. For those who don't know, WPTA has been a significant monetary supporter of the Kastner Cup in the past, and we are again this year.

Bruce broke his left ankle a few weeks ago and is in a boot. He wants to attend but needs some Paddock transportation. I can help him get around the track to view from special locations. Carts are not permitted outside of the Paddock.

I've exhausted my attempt to rent a golf cart from a local Canadian rental agency. They require an insurance policy and we've been told our Auto and Homeowners policies will not cover their requirements in Canada.

I've also investigated our club insurance via VTR and a cart is not covered in Canada.

Will any Kastner Cup attendees be bringing a golf cart that he (we) could use when it's not being used by you of course.

Thanks in advance if someone can help Bruce attend.

The race director told me he is preparing an email blast on tech and the 
whole bracket business, so stay tuned.

But my recollection is the tech sheet is provided by the nice folks from 
tech when you get your sticker.

Message-ID: <fd69149dde27216efd815dbe128bea45@tr4racer.com>

I just worked out with Race Director Ted Michalos how we are going to 
manage tech for next week.

As the vast majority of us will be arriving on Wednesday to run the 
Thursday test day, Ted will arrange for a scrutineer (that's Canadian 
for tech inspector) to come down to us. We are getting a roving tech 
inspector for Wednesday only. Tech is officially open from 5:30 to 8:00, 
I am not sure when or for how long they can spare their scrutineer.

Here's the good news. Have you run your race car at least once this 
year? Cars with a signed/stamped logbook page showing you passed tech 
for an event in 2026 will not require inspecting. This does not need to 
be an annual tech, just prove you passed tech for your last event and 
that event was in 2026. You will need to show your helmet, but not your 
other safety gear. VARAC is still accepting Snell 2015 helmets this 
year. The roving scrutineer will be able to process the quick tech (no 
car inspection) and the full tech in your paddock space.

Tech is NOT required to run test day. If you arrive too late on 
Wednesday for tech, or Thursday morning, you can run your full test day 
without the event tech, but will need to plan on making time on 
Thursday. Historically, tech is very busy at this event as it is the 
first event for many Canadian racers.

It's all coming together!

Nice, yeah, that about sums it up, except for that whole ?grow a third testicle? thing. One and two are also off-camber. So if you touch your brakes anywhere close to race speed, you?ll lose a lot of time?mostly because you?ll be in the dirt, going backwards. You?ll notice brakes are mentioned only once without the words moderate, confidence, or no in front of it. I think when I finally got up to a reasonable speed, I touched the brake twice.  I love thinking about that track. I mentioned it last night during dinner, and Diane started laughing. One of my daughters is visiting, and Diane said, ?You know how when he comes in after a session, he jumps out of the car and is all excited. When he came in after a session at Mosport, he sat in the car for five minutes, and when he finally got out, he was all somber and grumpy.? I don?t think I was grumpy; I loved the track. It just requires a lot of thinking. It?s one of a kind. I don?t know how anyone has the nerve to run it on a motorcycle. 

If you haven?t driven Mosport, you have a treat coming, and it will change you a bit. Watch Henry?s video four or five times. Realize that wide-angle action cameras make hills look flat. 1 and 2 look like gentle downhill turns?they are not. Turn 5A looks fairly flat?it looks as steep as a wall when you?re approaching it. I used less and less brakes for 5A?Peyote used the momentum well and worked best with its ass sliding a bit into 5B. Watch the difference in Henry?s steering correction between laps 1 and 2 and the rest of the laps. Hit the crest in the right spot and the right angle, and you?re golden. If you miss the magic spot, lift on the throttle right away because you can?t make adjustments anywhere near the apex and expect to stay on the track.

I might have missed this ? seem to have an issue getting FOT emails these days.
Is there designated parking for the Triumph racers or a preferred paddock area?
I?m a newbie to Mosport so I?ll be arriving Wednesday and looking for guidance.

Hi friends.
  If anyone has recently (or ever) installed a GT6 headliner. I could use a
little advice. The last time (and first time) I did that job was 2004 so
I've forgotten most of what I learned the hard way.  BAsically I need to
know what adhesive to use and do I or do I not need to remove the
windshield to wrap the front edge??Any other tips or tricks would be
welcomed.
                                   Thanks. P.J.

Great feedback, thanks Bill!

I wholeheartedly agree with you about 5B. It is one of those corners you 
pitch the car into to get a nice little slide going, so you can mash the 
accelerator way early. If you just drive around the corner, you are much 
slower on the accelerator as you are trying to keep the rear end under 
you.

Another tip I am going to throw out there is how imperative it is to hit 
the first apex on Turn 2. See the attachment, a screen grab from my 
in-car camera. It is easy to spot, so many cars have dropped wheels off 
the pavement that they had to put in a patch. It's easy to see, not easy 
to touch!

Next email, our paddock space!

Subject: [Fot] Paddock at the Kastner Cup
Message-ID: <ac5f60e7a2d06ac4bafec3086d8c4338@tr4racer.com>

We have been assigned what I consider the best paddock space at the 
track, Paddock B. It is identified in the email everyone should have 
received yesterday from Race Director Ted Michalos. Naturally the area 
is not large, and we are expected to pack in tight and get the vast 
majority of our cars there. I asked for the actual measurements several 
times but never got them, so I was not able to lay out the paddock with 
assigned spaces. For those of you who are familiar with the area, I was 
just told the abandoned emergency vehicles that have been occupying 
space there for years have been removed!

I have been told that no one, including me, will be able to get up to 
the paddock space before 5PM at the earliest. Official load in time 
starts at 5:30. After registering, we will be directed to a large space 
adjacent the lower paddock for queueing up. It will make life easier if 
we can all queue up together in the lower paddock, so when our area is 
released we can have an orderly procession up the hill and not lose 
anybody!

Of the 32 cars we are expecting, I believe 23 are required to run test 
day on Thursday. I assume that means the vast majority of us will arrive 
on Wednesday, so the load in will be interesting, to say the least. 
Please plan on using the paddock space primarily for cars, use the grass 
perimeter for camping wherever possible. Everyone's patience is much 
appreciated!

We are currently expecting about 32 cars. I am not sure if we will all 
fit in Paddock B, there is overflow paddock space just up the hill in 
adjacent Paddock A. If we need to use some of that space, so be it.

Regarding camping at the track, ABSOLUTELY NO FIRES ALLOWED. You will be 
asked to leave immediately if you try the campfire thing.

Remember, the track puts on a dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 
so plan your food accordingly. Also, there is live entertainment every 
night as well, and the bands will be playing in the main tent which is 
right next to our paddock area. I will apologize now, you can hear the 
band from our paddock when they are playing. Historically, on Saturday 
night the Mudmen take the stage, they have quite a following and are 
certainly entertaining!

There is no electric service available, if you need power plan on 
bringing a generator. Please be considerate of your neighbors when 
running your generator!

Last item, for those of us camping at the track, consider staying over 
in the paddock on Sunday evening. Many of us do just that, and it is a 
nice way to take your time breaking down and packing, have a relaxing 
meal, then make it an early night. The ride home after a good sleep is 
always better in my book.

We are getting close! See everyone next week!

A new schedule was just sent out for next weekend. The K Cup is the same
time, right after lunch on Saturday but the MG-Triumph (Frank Mount) is now
just before lunch, with the K Cup right after lunch.

I see the Sunday Triumph Reunion race now has a worthy new name.

See you guys in a few days.

Haven't heard much about the cup here on the old FoT.
Best to all those making a run to be the chosen one!

If anyone out there has a chance.... drop the FoT an update every now and
then.
I'm not on any of the cool social media platforms.

Jay and Jason O,

There have been a lot of emails the past week on the K-Cup.  Most may be
heads down traveling to Mosport today.  You may not be receiving them all.

I had to create a Gmail account which I use only for FOT.   Since that
time, I have received all FOT emails.  Problem solved.
The older domains' servers like AOL, Mindspring and maybe Yahoo do not seem
to play in the sandbox well with the FOT server.  Not sure the cause.
Oddly, I still  receive an occasional FOT email on my Mindspring account.
Thanks,
Mark Cook

Glad you were able to put your car back together in time to make it to
Mosport.

Have a great time!

At the track with a downpour outside the motorhome. But it looks like the
rain will stop an hour before my first session at 9:30. The day looks good.
First time here,  this is going to be interesting.

Sorry, no live feed.

Here in Canada they do things different, as I recall they do not use 
Racemonitor, they use something else. When I have details, I will share!

You can feel the excitement in the air, even with the rain!

Henry Frye
Looking forward to a great KCup and handing the reigns to the next 
chair, who will be announced this weekend!

Well, it's been an "interesting day". After four sessions, a number of cars have experienced issues putting them back on the trailer. The early session was rain and only 4 cars went out to start. All Triumphs, by the way.

Henry will have more details as I was quite busy replacing a motor mount in an effort to run in session three. I made it on track just in time for a red flag situation due to Mike Derweed having an "off". I don't know the status of the car, but it looks like there'll be body work needed.

It should be interesting to see what heroics are needed to keep the Kastner Cup field full.

Yours in Triumph,

Practice day update -
there were four closed wheel sessions, which meant a real mixed bag of cars, including big bore early mustangs, a few late model BMWs with wings, a variety of Porsches, and the usual small/medium bore vintage English, German, etc.  Let?s say speeds varied widely, as did track knowledge.
The weather was the big event for the day - soaking wet until about 10 AM, then it flip-flopped from sun to showers seemingly about every 20 minutes.  On balance, though, there were some mostly dry sessions and good learning experiences for this Mosport newbie.

The track is mostly awesome.  Kind of feels like Watkins glen, except there are more rapid elevation changes and some really challenging corners.  I say mostly because the pavement is surprisingly not great.  Some areas that are pretty bumpy.  Not enough to ruin the experience, but enough to notice.  On balance, it?s one of the more fun tracks I?ve driven, and I suspect I?ll make the eight hour tow to do it again next year.

Already the usual breakage in the Triumph crowd.  Someone spun and hit the wall ( no injuries but the car is unusable for the weekend), there?s a broken diff (TR4), a broken shock (Spitfire) and a broken transmission (spitfire) being swapped out as I write this.

Tomorrow, qualifying at 10:30 for most of us and a race in the afternoon.

P.J.
Sorry I?m a little late to the table , but I had trouble remembering the name.  I used Rust Bullet on a large section of nearly perforated rusty flashing on a commercial building roof and 10 years later when I sold the building it was still intact.  This was in Western WA, the rainy side.

Summit Racing has it in Black and Silver/Gray.

Hi All.
 I am ready to paint a GT6 frame and I would like it silver or a shade of silver. Unfortunately almost all the chassis paints are black. There is one in the UK that is silver but I don't think I want to deal with trying to get it here. Any suggestions for possible finding a tintable chip resistant chassis paint?
                               Thanks.  P.J.

For those who aren't following the timing via the link Henry provided, practice and qualifying went pretty well on Friday. A number of drivers figured out the proper line and broke out from thier timing group. So, now there's a bunch of Triumphs in Group 1 and under 1:45 with Henry at 1:41, Tim Cook at 1:42 and several in the 1: 43s.

As Henry and others indicated, carrying the "MO" in just a couple spots makes a big difference in laptime... a few drivers will need wheelbarrows after this weekend.

My overall impression to this point would be that Mosport is a fast momentum circuit but it's pretty obvious that it can bite hard if you get it wrong. While the old turn 2 was interesting to watch when the runoff was unpaved, the generous paved outside area gives some comfort that there's somewhere to go if you go in way too hot. Same for turn 8.

But I have to say that the racer attitude here is very good and every one seems to want to help and provide suggestions and support. Folks are really friendly.

Today we run the Kastner Cup race at 1 30, and there's definitely a handful of candidates for the Cup.

Last tidbit - Kieth Files and his wife Louisa were walking around the Triumphs paddock yesterday and it was a real treat to chat with them!

OK, time to go check the car. More "l8r"

Regards,

Sounds like you guys could have used these.  They are on light weight 3 piece Force wheels. Never used. Make me a
reasonable offer. They are in Denver Co. The nubs are still on them.

On balance, it?s one of the more fun tracks I?ve driven, and I suspect I?ll make the eight hour tow to do it again next year.

Day two of the 2026 VARAC Grand Prix weekend was quite interesting. One "highlight" was a LOT of double yellow laps due to various reasons. That said, the Kastner Cup race ran almost flawlessly bar a big spin and related pandemonium that created near the front of the field.

The overall winner of the Kastner Cup race was Tim Cook in the really Kool, REALLY FAST Group 44 tribute TR8. Henry was second and Jesse Darrow rounds out the podium after a thrilling last lap duel with this author.

I personally can't wait to see the videos from my car and Chuck Gee as the two Darrow Spitfires, Chuck and me had some great back and forth until the spin... and the spin was pretty spectacular in Turn 1 about 5 laps in. There was a local yellow at 1 for the rest of the race, so one passing place was out of the mix.

I'm certain that the spectators enjoyed the race.

As far as attrition, Dave Gott had a front left vertical link failure that happened at the entrance to Moss while the Group 1 race was under caution following the pace car. Broken suspension is not good, but going under 30 mph (estimate) probably kept the outcome from being "really bad". Dave has some work to do, but we suspect it'll include some improvements.

At the Kastner Cup presentation, I was shocked - truly - when Kieth Files called my name. Honestly, a huge thank you for the recognition. I am honored.

And with that next year the Kastner Cup heads to Grattan!

Today there's a full slate with the highlights of the Jack Drews Memorial and several mixed group races. And sky is perfect.

Regards,

Message-ID: <C9DEDCD9-9A30-484E-BBA4-F17118482B3D@gmail.com>

Hello all,

I?m about half way home and thought I?d share my thoughts on the Mosport Kastner Cup races last weekend.

- Henry was right, VARAC puts on one heck of an event at Mosport.  They welcomed the Triumphs with open arms, provided lots of track time, and fed us well.  

- We had the mandatory test day on Thursday with 4 on track sessions.  I ran 3 of those.  The race weekend had 10 sessions and I ran 9 of those.  My car worked very well all weekend with just a couple of minor issues that were easily fixed.  I never even had to add oil or water the whole time.  Crazy.  Just A LOT of gas.

- Bill was right.  The Mosport track is both fun and terrifying at the same time.  I felt like I was doing pretty good most of the weekend, but Henry still turned a lap 3 seconds faster than my best time.  I could never really get comfortable going into turn 2.  I even tried just closing my eyes and hoping for the best, but that didn?t work either.  I?m thinking I only achieved 2 3/4 testicles rather than a full 3.

- Hanging out with fellow FOT racers is always a great time.  There isn?t a bad one amongst us (except for me, maybe).  Everyone has a good time, races clean, and is always willing to lend a hand or spare part if needed.

- Bob Lang, Jesse Darrow, and Pat Darrow provided some great racing fun.  I?ll post the video I took during the Kastner Cup race and you?ll see what I mean.  All three are my kind of people, and I hope they take that as the compliment I intend it to be!

- Thanks to Greg Thompson who gave me one of those fancy blue Bosch coils after my Pertronix coil failed.  The car ran so much better after that.

- Congrats to Bob Lang for winning the Kastner Cup.  He deserved it.

- It was an honor to take 2nd place in the Jack Drews Memorial race.  I deserved 3rd, but Jesse Darrow was kind enough to run out of gas towards the end.  Fortunately for me, he doesn?t suspect any foul play.  I also won the Peggy Kastner fastest TR4 award, which was a nice bonus.

- A big thanks to Henry Frye for organizing this one.  I always wanted to race at Mosport and he gave me the reason to finally do it.  I truly appreciate your efforts and your friendship Henry.

I?m sure I forgot something but this email is already too long.  Hope to see you all at the next one!

The Cup Honor going to Bob Lang is so well deserved.
He is always fast.
A true racer.
Humble, weird and fun.
It seems he can do more with a nickel than anyone else can with a dollar.
Knowledgeable, tactful, sensible, and a driver with incredible Self Created
Speed.
Probably one of the best.
He is quirky and odd, and always shows great tenacity towards his Triumph
effort.

Cogragrats to all who made the show.
And All those that made The show possible.

Side Note:
Looking at the Kastner Cup finish stats
And For Those that are Keeping track.....
Jason Sukey Get's My rare and almost Impossible to Get....A+
Great o see how far he has come with his Triumph knowledge.and implication.
Making a GT6 both reliable and fast is a very hard game.
He looks like a great candidate for the next Kaster Cup!
See You ALL at Grattan Raceway Next Year!

Great Job to everyone for what looked like an awesome 2026 Kastner Cup.

Great thoughts!
I had many thoughts and questions about the weekend,since I wasn't even
there.
All of us at Blackhawk Tried to follow it on the internet and such.
So fun to be a part of such a cool cultural phenomenon.
All sounded very awesome.

Thanks for the report, Chuck.
Congratulations to Bob Lang.  Well deserved.  All ways in in the hunt towards the front.  
I'll look forward to some videos.
Best,

Well done Chuck! Great review, I loved my TR4 racer. They are the ultimate
vintage race car, so well balanced and so aggressive looking. Enjoy!

I whole heartly agree on both accounts. Bob is one heck of a Triumph guy and just a great guy on top of that! And Jason, on top of being my son ? is one heck of a driver and builder. When I grow up, I want to be half as fast as both of these guys.

Marty

The Cup Honor going to Bob Lang is so well deserved.
He is always fast.
A true racer.
Humble, weird and fun.
It seems he can do more with a nickel than anyone else can with a dollar.
Knowledgeable, tactful, sensible, and a driver with incredible Self Created Speed.
Probably one of the best.
He is quirky and odd, and always shows great tenacity towards his Triumph effort.

Cogragrats to all who made the show.
And All those that made The show possible.

Side Note:

And For Those that are Keeping track.....
Jason Sukey Get's My rare and almost Impossible to Get....A+
Great o see how far he has come with his Triumph knowledge.and implication.
Making a GT6 both reliable and fast is a very hard game.
He looks like a great candidate for the next Kaster Cup!
See You ALL at Grattan Raceway Next Year!

Great Job to everyone for what looked like an awesome 2026 Kastner Cup.

First, WOW what an awesome event! This has to be one of my top fun races of all time. Big shout out to Henry and VARAC! And an observation. With my Spitfire I typically use 2 gallons of fuel per 20-minute session. There is so much wide-open throttle at Mosport I went through 3.5 gallons per session. Good thing I packed an extra jug.

Still tired and still smiling.

One more mention. The latest addition to "Team Sukey" is Kallie Sukey. I think Mosport was her 4th ever race behind the wheel.  She was almost matching my lap times in a lesser prepared Spitfire. I suspect this is my last season beating her. Good job Kallie!

OK, that was fun.

I should really just stop there, that sums it up pretty well.

But we know I can't help myself, I'm working on a couple of posts now, 
stay tuned for a couple of race reports and whatnot.

In the meantime, folks might have noticed a reporter from Inside Track 
News walking around interviewing folks. Here is his event writeup and 
interviews with Bob Lang, Tim Cook and me!

My Kastner Cup weekend was more eventful than most, but I did manage to exorcise the demons from my blown engine in the 2003 weekend at Mosport by finishing the K Cup race in 15th, same position as last year. Unfortunately the car suffered multiple issues along the way; a spark plug came apart in an early practice session and the ceramic portion was ejected along with the attached plug wire. Came in on 3 cylinders but the guts of the plug must have gotten sucked in on the downstroke as the cylinder wall got a bit scuffed. It was noisy the rest of the way, but not hurting too bad. Then another oddity happened dumping most of the crankcase onto the track in turn 5. The track workers handed me my oil filter when they loaded the car. The steel spin on adapter threads had pulled their mates out of the Purolator filter head. I thought my weekend was over but an FOT had a replacement head and adapter. When I went to screw on the filter the threads on the new adapter seemed a little loose and I took some time trying to clean up the threads on the original one, but I couldn?t get them cleaned up satisfactorily. I tried the new one again, this time tightening the filter all the way and it seemed fine. I was back in business in time to qualify and do the cup race. I parked it after that to save it for the memorial race. Sunday morning I rechecked everything and made sure the filter was tight with an oil filter wrench. As the guys on track know it didn?t last. The oil filter came loose and started dumping oil again, this time without be noticing until I was 3 wide trying to pass two cars to my left coming out of 5C. At speed I got off to the grass as fast as I could but I ruined a second session for you all. I?m really sorry about that. I restarted it on the grass and since it has oil pressure I was able to drive up the grass and get behind the wall and into the lower paddock. I picked it up with my trailer and didn?t open the hood. When I saw the loose filter it was a relief and regret sandwich. No blown engine, no major issues, no fireballs. I?ve oiled a track 4 times in 3 years of racing, once in Tx, once here in 2003 and 2 times this weekend. Mosport clearly owns me, but I finished the J Cup and that?s the reason I had to come back. I won?t be back again!

Amici-

Congrats to all on a great Mosport event and bravo, Mr. Lang on your well deserved Kastner Cup win!  For 2027, Jason Ostrowski and I are giving Henry a well deserved break and, with partnership from VSCDA, will host the 25th Kastner Cup at Grattan Raceway in Belding, MI August 13-15.  For those that have never been, Grattan is an absolutely remarkable club track - possibly the most challenging 2 miles in the country.  I had been there multiple times before as crew, but finally got the chance to race there last year - absolutely incredible.  Every corner has a trick - it's either blind, or changing elevation, or changing camber, or a combination of all of them.  Strap your Triumph to a roller coaster and you've got Grattan.  It is the true definition of the driver's track.

The track is about 20 minutes northeast of Grand Rapids so there are plenty of hotel options within easy drive.  For those that like a laid back paddock - this is it.  It's a step back in time to grassroots road racing and VSCDA does a great job celebrating that spirit throughout the weekend.  The Midwest Triumph community has a rich history as part of this VSCDA staple, and we want all of you to experience it with us.  More information to come, but please mark your calendars now.  We are happy to do our part to keep the Kastner Cup going.  It is truly one of greatest things going in Vintage Racing Today!   

Sincerely,

Brian Garcia 
Jason Ostrowski

That's Some Serious Balls To The Wall Shit!

Every driver up there at the front was hungrier and more insane than the
next.
Impressive.
Wonderfully on the edge
The whole lot of ya get the Damn A+.
Really great video:

Attached is a low-res copy of the 1st Group shot with Grand Marshal Keith
Files, the boss Joe Alexander, and the 2026 Kastner Cup cars. More to come,
including a per driver series of shots, based on finishing position. In
this photo, I did some Ai bodywork on Pat Darrow's Spitfire, fyi. I will
send high-res shots later.

This whole "work" thing gets in the way, a lot! As of 6am today, I have all
photos backed up twice and in the process of a third time at home. I shot
21,197 photos on my old trusty Nikon, 2090 on a Fuji, 1909 on another Fuji,
and the best assistant I could ask for, Erich Hischberger took 8919 photos
on my other Nikon. That is 34,115 photos!

I will be releasing it all on my Facebook page (
www.facebook.com/NorthAmTriumphs). There is already a ton of trackside
video on the page. I will also make a Dropbox file for all drivers and send
them to the FOT list so you can save your photos in high resolution, just
in case you wanted to print poster-sized shots. This may take a while, but
I will do my best.

What a weekend, what a show! The Friends of Triumph really know how to
bring the excitement. I felt the crowd and it was a spectacle! Thank you so
much for letting me tag along! I noticed a few of my shots were used for
the trading cards that VARAC released. Wow, I am honored! I am glad you
could use some of my shots. That is exactly why I send them. I would
consider that perfect usage.

It is an absolute honor to be recognized with the Amici Triumph Award. I am
humbled and blessed to be a fly on the wall. Thank you!

What do you all have for in-car video from the Kastner Cup race? Send me
your YouTube links and I will share on North American Triumphs on Facebook.

Thank you FOT!!!

I would like to nominate my wife, Kallie Sukey, to the FOT list.
Kallie has been a big part of the "Team Sukey" racing operation since 2013.
Last year, she attended the VSCDA school, then began competing in the ex
Bill Rampe 1296 Spitfire.
Her contact is:  kallielo32 at gmail.com

It's hard to beat the rush I experience when all three of us are on track
together!

Subject: [Fot] From your event chair - our Return to Mosport is in the books
Message-ID: <4c9e4a0b22753f96503d3fa5e25172a3@tr4racer.com>

Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Mosport, it was my pleasure to 
share my favorite event of the year. It was pretty amazing on so many 
levels, the track, the Canadian hospitality, having all our friends 
together again to race for the Cup.

Our neighbors to the north always put on a great event, and this year 
was no different. Being the featured marque, we had no less than 10 
sessions available to us, but I was only able to do 9. By the time that 
last race of the weekend came around, I was spent. The car seemed ready 
and able, my mind was all in, but it was my body that that convinced me 
I was done! I was literally sore from tossing the car around all those 
laps at speed!

I wish I could have been more effective setting the schedule a little 
better, I did push back but we got what we got. One of the problems when 
we get so much track time having cars that run in 4 different groups is 
getting that track time spread out enough to be comfortable.

I feel our racers who were seeing the track for the first time at speed 
did a wonderful job. Congrats to all first timers for surviving turns 1, 
2 and 8, plus figuring out how to get around 5B. It takes a very special 
person to be able to grow that third testicle on their first visit to 
Mosport, it took me years to be able to go all out in 1 and 2. I know 
there is still more speed for me in turn 8, but that risk to reward 
buzzer in my head goes off every time I try to find it!

A heartfelt thanks to Keith Files who came over from the UK to be our 
Grand Marshal, job well done Keith. It was a privilege to meet the 
lovely Louisa as well!

Kudos to Kallie Sukey, what a great job she did with only a handful of 
races under her belt. The former Bill Rampe Spit was looking great out 
there, I have no doubt Kallie will be mixing it up with the best of us 
soon!

The Darrow brothers came with that incredibly fast pair of matching 
Spits and put on quite a show. They Triumphed over adversity all 
weekend, great fun to watch.

Then there was Fireball Bob Kramer. Surviving the epic tow from Texas, 
he came trying to break the jinx of Mosport. He was unsuccessful, I am 
afraid. He just earned another nickname, Oily Bob! Sorry Bob, hopefully 
your next event goes better!

Then we have the luckiest person at the track, our most recent Kastner 
Cup winner Dave Gott. In one of the group races, we are circling the 
track under double yellow for an unrelated incident when I come around 
and see Dave's TR4 beached in a very peculiar place. I think nobody 
would pull off there if they had a choice. Next time around, the flatbed 
was there pulling the car backwards and I could see the left front wheel 
flopping down, it looked like he broke a ball joint! I shuddered 
thinking how the heck did that happen under yellow in the ONLY slow 
corner on the whole track when only moments before I know he was running 
right hand corners at full chat where that failure would be 
catastrophic. I suggested he buy a lottery ticket... Of course I have no 
clue if Canada even does the lottery thing! Turns out it was a snapped 
upright, it broke just above the threads that screw into the trunnion. 
Unfortunately, Dave was done for the weekend.

We had our share of mechanical issues on top of Dave's near calamity, I 
saw at least 3 head gasket replacements, a diff failure, a gearbox 
shredded some gears, and a blown out bespoke shock just to name a few. 
Most persevered to get things fixed, some became spectators not by 
choice but by necessity. A pretty typical showing for our group, as we 
know attrition is part of the sport.

Thanks to all the non-racers who showed up, we had no less than 10 of 
our Western Pennsylvania Triumph buds, plus our friends Irv Korey and 
Jay Holecamp came from Illinois. Dave Amys and his wife drove their 
beautiful TR6 all the way from Minnesota to be with us! Plus more I 
can't think of at the moment, sorry about that folks!

I'll post a couple of race reports shortly, and call it a wrap on my 
time as your race chair. I am thrilled that Jason and Brian are back on 
the task for Grattan next year, it's on my calendar for the middle of 
August, 2027!

Cheers

Hope to see you again next year.

> ?My Kastner Cup weekend was more eventful than most, but I did manage to exorcise the demons from my blown engine in the 2003 weekend at Mosport by finishing the K Cup race in 15th, same position as last year. Unfortunately the car suffered multiple issues along the way; a spark plug came apart in an early practice session and the ceramic portion was ejected along with the attached plug wire. Came in on 3 cylinders but the guts of the plug must have gotten sucked in on the downstroke as the cylinder wall got a bit scuffed. It was noisy the rest of the way, but not hurting too bad. Then another oddity happened dumping most of the crankcase onto the track in turn 5. The track workers handed me my oil filter when they loaded the car. The steel spin on adapter threads had pulled their mates out of the Purolator filter head. I thought my weekend was over but an FOT had a replacement head and adapter. When I went to screw on the filter the threads on the new adapter seemed a little loose and I took some time trying to clean up the threads on the original one, but I couldn?t get them cleaned up satisfactorily. I tried the new one again, this time tightening the filter all the way and it seemed fine. I was back in business in time to qualify and do the cup race. I parked it after that to save it for the memorial race. Sunday morning I rechecked everything and made sure the filter was tight with an oil filter wrench. As the guys on track know it didn?t last. The oil filter came loose and started dumping oil again, this time without be noticing until I was 3 wide trying to pass two cars to my left coming out of 5C. At speed I got off to the grass as fast as I could but I ruined a second session for you all. I?m really sorry about that. I restarted it on the grass and since it has oil pressure I was able to drive up the grass and get behind the wall and into the lower paddock. I picked it up with my trailer and didn?t open the hood. When I saw the loose filter it was a relief and regret sandwich. No blown engine, no major issues, no fireballs. I?ve oiled a track 4 times in 3 years of racing, once in Tx, once here in 2003 and 2 times this weekend. Mosport clearly owns me, but I finished the J Cup and that?s the reason I had to come back. I won?t be back again!

Message-ID: <51499b8bd48d42eb1e1d601f80068628@tr4racer.com>

Track time was plentiful, 10 sessions plus more if you ran test day. 
Friday was an easy day, a morning practice session, then an afternoon 
qualifying session. Unfortunately for Mike Deweerd, his TR8 was out for 
the weekend on Friday. This made it a little clearer what to expect up 
front the rest of the event, with only one TR8 running it was Tim Cook's 
time to shine up front. Spoiler alert, he did not disappoint!

Our first special race was the Frank Mount Memorial MG/TR Challenge. To 
give you some history, Triumphs have dominated this race for a while 
now. The Canadians might just be a little bit sore about that fact, and 
the rules for the race are always weighted heavily on participation 
rather than finishing order! This year, they really didn't try to hide 
their bias, they arranged the starting order as first come, first served 
with the MG's taking the first 15 grid spots! Just to be sure we had it 
as tough as possible, they put Tim Cook with his TR8 in the race group 
immediately preceding the MG/TR Challenge race, so his participation 
would be questionable. Then an added deterrent, the scheduled the MG/TR 
Challenge just before the lunch break, and the Kastner Cup just after 
lunch, so with minimal turnaround time many of our guys chose to sit out 
the Challenge race. I am not sure what else they could have done to us, 
other than leaving one plug wire off per car!

Waiting for the grid to open, we strategized to put me in the TR250 
first, Phil Gott and Bob Lang lined up behind me. Also in line were Greg 
Thompson, Walt Hollowell, Stewart Wigg and Dave Riddle. I had talked to 
Tim Cook, his plan was to run the Challenge race if things went well in 
his group race immediately prior. On the MG side, the car to beat was an 
MG Midget piloted by the very talented and always fast Nick Pratt. Nick 
and I have had some epic David and Goliath battles, Goliath has had the 
slight edge in the past and has been victorious.

The race starts with me taking a couple laps to clear the lion's share 
of the MG's. It seems to me they are doing a great job blocking me in 
wherever possible, but nobody is so obvious I can cry foul. When I 
finally get clear track Nick has been doing fast laps by himself, and I 
have over 7 seconds to make up. I settle in to the job at hand, and the 
gap closes. Then, as I am motoring up the back straight, I see in my 
mirror a white dot getting bigger! Tim made the race, and he in on the 
hunt as well! The TR8 blows by me in a flash, and I'm thinking the good 
guys have this one in the bag, if time runs out for me at least Tim will 
be first. Then two laps later on lap 8, I turn my best lap of the race, 
a 1:40.1 and I pass Nick on the back straight. Triumph 1 - 2, and I keep 
Tim in my sights as he stays about 3 seconds in front of me for the last 
4 laps.

So it's Tim on the top step of the podium, I come in second and Nick 
Pratt third. Bob Lang ran 4th overall. So I am not sure how the math 
worked out for which team won, but I am pretty sure we didn't stand a 
chance with the schedule effectively benching most of our team. But of 
course, it doesn't matter, we all had fun and the streak of Triumphs 
dominating the top spot is unbroken!

Next up, the Kastner Cup race!

Not much to say here other than I started second and finished second. I 
was driving the wheels off the car trying to keep up with Tim's TR8, I 
kept the gap between 1.5 to 3 seconds most of the race. Unfortunately, 
when Pat Darrow had his little shunt in 1, that caused a waiving yellow 
for the rest of the session, and I caught traffic on lap 11 and 12 in 
the yellow flag zone, so the gap opened up to 5.5 seconds at the end. 
Tim's comment to me after the race was thanks for keeping him honest, my 
comment to him was I thought I had to work way harder than he did, in 
which he agreed with me! My best lap was a 1:41.19 vs Tim with a 
1:40.95, so that made me feel pretty good about the race.

Then on Sunday, the Jack Drews Memorial Race, formerly known as the 
Reunion Race!

Tim had to get home on Sunday, so was packed up and gone by the time 
racing started on Sunday. I was on pole, and Jesse Darrow did all he 
could to keep me honest! I put about a 2.5 second gap on Jesse when Oily 
Bob did his thing for the last time, putting a layer of oil up most of 
the back straight. We reported to the pits and waited a solid half hour 
for the track to get cleaned. I was sure we were done, but VARAC 
announced they were going to let us go green for another 10 minutes! 
This time it was Jesse driving like a man on a mission, keeping me 
honest until suddenly, he was gone. In fact, I saw nobody in my mirrors 
for the last two laps, upon finishing I see I gapped Chuck Gee in second 
place by 14.2 seconds in 6 laps! Thanks for the motivation, Jesse! At 
the podium, Jesse tried to sneak into Chuck's second place pedestal, too 
funny. Apparently, Jesse ran out of fuel! Bob Lang took third.

Finally, my group race!

My bracket, VH3, means don't go faster than a 1:40. For whatever reason, 
I happen to run at the bottom of that bracket, a 1:40 is a good time for 
me. As such, I do well with the bracket. This year was no different, I 
finished first in VH3 in the 3 races leading up to the feature race 
Sunday afternoon. This year we had a bunch of Mustangs that had never 
run with VARAC before, and for whatever reason they put them with us in 
Vintage Historic. Not a great fit, and the one that was always gridded 
with me had a problem with his fuel cell, he kept dumping gas on corners 
at the beginning of the race. It was a slippery situation, to say the 
least! And it took him several laps to put down a couple of faster laps 
than me to be out of my hair. So in the feature, I am coming around turn 
10 finishing up lap 2, and I am too close to the fuel spilling Mustang. 
The second place VH3 car, a 911, gets a better run than I do and passes 
me going into 1. I fall back behind him and find out he has a bit more 
straight line speed, but is absolutely hopeless in 1 and 2. For 3 laps I 
follow watching closely, figuring out where I am going to get him, 
hoping I have a shot somewhere other than turn 2, as he is all over the 
place and completely unpredictable. It's apparent I am going to have to 
man up and do the deed in turn 2, so I give it a go with no joy. The 
next time around I get next to him at the first apex of turn 2 on the 
outside and we slide our way down the hill side by side. As we approach 
3, now I have the inside line and he gives it to me. I proceed to drive 
it like I stole it, I need to gap him so he doesn't take me on the back 
straight. I proceed to put down a great lap, and can barely see the 911 
in my rear view mirror. I take the checkered flag knowing I should be 
golden for another class win, hoping I didn't break out. I hold my 
breath and at the podium I am given the first place trophy. All good, I 
think...

I pull out Speedhive to see I ran a 1:39.2, my best lap ever at Mosport. 
I broke out, but Colleen didn't realize at the time! We will see if I 
get penalized that lap at some point, but I have the hardware!

So that's it, my time as Kastner Cup chair has come to an end. I hope 
everyone who came enjoyed the experience as much as I do, and I look 
forward to next year to see how many Triumph racers will now say their 
June event is Mosport!

Cheers

Henry

Great job Henry, sounds like everyone got to experience an amazing track, even the folks that broke. And nobody got killed though I imagine a few thought they might be. The third testicle is to go fast in 1 and 2. I?m not sure what it takes to go as fast as one should in turn 8. I never got anywhere close?we both know it?s a flat out kink, not a turn. In my case that?s just theoretical. Some very good racers have ended their careers (and lives) there. Sorry I couldn?t be there with Peyote, as you can imagine, it?s a lot of fun at Mosport, though Peyote was not impressed with my performance. I suspect you would have kicked my butt. I had minis blow by me in 8 with only three wheels on the track.

This is a racing request but not for a Triumph. A friend has what he
believes to be GT6 uprights on his FF and needs a wheel bearing cover. I
looked through my parts stash for GT6 uprights but nada. Does anyone have a
loose cap they could measure and confirm or deny that he needs to get a GT6
cap?

The center hole for the caps is 1.83". I found a part # from British Parts
NorthWest. Triumph GT6 wheel bearing cap cross reference # 661-435"

Thanks

I would like to nominate my wife, Kallie Sukey, to the FOT list.
Kallie has been a big part of the "Team Sukey" racing operation since 2013.
Last year, she attended the VSCDA school, then began competing in the ex Bill Rampe 1296 Spitfire.
Her contact is:  kallielo32 at gmail.com<mailto:kallielo32 at gmail.com>

It's hard to beat the rush I experience when all three of us are on track together!

Bill, no doubt you and Peyote are sorely missed by our paddock of the 
great unwashed!

I too am pleased that our gang behaved quite well under tenuous 
circumstances. It takes a very special person to master Mosport in a 
handful of laps, and while I truly believe our talent pool runs pretty 
deep, there is no substitute for experience at that track. I have had 
championship winning Mini drivers come up to me asking how do I gain on 
them in turn 2, it's like getting to Carnagie Hall... Practice. OK, and 
confidence in your equipment. And that third t... Oh, never mind!

As to turn 8, I think I have raced Mosport at least 20 times, a couple 
of sessions I have really focused hard on carrying more speed through 8. 
Hasn't helped yet!

Thanks Lorne, we missed you this year!

And way to go Bob Lang is right! Bob made quite the impression with his 
driving on everyone. On a fresh motor he came to the track ready to race 
and showed us how it's done!

Congrats Bob on being the 2026 Kastner Cup Champion!!!

Jason,

Our Great Tradition continues because of the efforts of those who chose 
to stand up and give back. Like you and Brian for 2027. We thank you for 
what I know will be another great effort by you guys to show off a 
little gem of a racetrack in Michigan!

Grattan is the polar opposite of Mosport, LOTS of technical twisty bits, 
one long straight. Track knowledge will certainly play a part in who 
finishes on top, but nothing like what we experienced the past two years 
at our KCups.

I look forward to seeing a great turnout in Grattan next year!

Henry

PS. It is never too early for planning the NEXT Kastner Cup. This works 
because our folks volunteer to chair an event. If anybody has any ideas 
for 2028, reach out to Joe Alexander! There is a pretty good support 
system in place to help make the process go smoothly!

Just a reminder, we do not nominate people to the FOT anymore, we 
SPONSOR them. No seconding necessary, we simply add deserving people.

Of course in Kallie's case, I would have also seconded her in a 
heartbeat! Did I mention how impressive she looked out there???

I do wonder what took her husband so long to actually get her on the 
list??? :)

Amici-

Congrats to all on a great Mosport event and bravo, Mr. Lang on your well deserved Kastner Cup win!  For 2027, Jason Ostrowski and I are giving Henry a well deserved break and, with partnership from VSCDA, will host the 25th Kastner Cup at Grattan Raceway in Belding, MI August 13-15.  For those that have never been, Grattan is an absolutely remarkable club track - possibly the most challenging 2 miles in the country.  I had been there multiple times before as crew, but finally got the chance to race there last year - absolutely incredible.  Every corner has a trick - it's either blind, or changing elevation, or changing camber, or a combination of all of them.  Strap your Triumph to a roller coaster and you've got Grattan.  It is the true definition of the driver's track.

The track is about 20 minutes northeast of Grand Rapids so there are plenty of hotel options within easy drive.  For those that like a laid back paddock - this is it.  It's a step back in time to grassroots road racing and VSCDA does a great job celebrating that spirit throughout the weekend.  The Midwest Triumph community has a rich history as part of this VSCDA staple, and we want all of you to experience it with us.  More information to come, but please mark your calendars now.  We are happy to do our part to keep the Kastner Cup going.  It is truly one of greatest things going in Vintage Racing Today!  

Sincerely,

Brian Garcia
Jason Ostrowski

Hi friends.
  Now that the headliner has been removed and the five dead mice, after
considerable scrubbing and washing with bleach, the smell is starting to
get back to normal in my GT6. I did however end up removing most of the
interior while searching for the source of the aroma. And since I have so
much of the car apart I thought now would be a good time to replace the
dash top as well. Unfortunately I am not finding anything that resembles
the original dash top. Can anyone recommend a source for that item or
perhaps there is one laying around in a stash that you would consider
selling. This is needed for a GT6 MK1 or 2
                         Thanks.  P.J.

Had to go back several years for a shot of our ?Mad Scientist? in action with something Brit!
Just happens to be our trusty ?52 Fergi TO30.
You all know the one? The butt of all the TRactor jokes ?!
Well take this jokesters?
Parts from Plum Pi keeps our Fergie earning it?s keep and in a pinch can keep most any TR n the track.
And out fearless leader Joe (aka Dr Deer) can likely facilitate my one unproven theories on our TRactors. That is that TO30 Diesels had a forged crank. I?ve never known or cared what a Moldex or similar costs but until I get my grubby paws on a Standard/Triumph part,
Plum Pi will just have to make do with its Kas Prepped cast lump (+ Cryo).
Now it?s on the shoulders of T-AW to find a part number and JA to find a Organ Doner?
All for now but stay tuned to this FOT channel for next week?s exciting episode.
Best,
Lunker

Subject: [Fot] Anyone have TR4 engine for sale in NY/ CT?
Message-ID: <B7B6F78B-C59A-4F86-B72F-04FBB0EB1B23@gmail.com>

I stopped by Custom Spares LTD kn Brewster NY while in the area and the proprietor asked me if I had any TR4 engines I would sell. I suggested that he could probably get one closer. If anyone wants this lead let me know and I?ll give his contact info.

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