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!

Chuck Gee
