[TR] VTR trips

[Bob Danielson]

Henry Frye.........the last time I saw Henry was when he came to my house
and picked up my old rims to use for his SCCA rain tires. The time before
that was when we met for the caravan to Portland VTR in '99. A real nice
guy.

I installed the system on my Spitfire about 6 months before leaving for
Portland Maine and the 99 convention.  In conversations with Bud who was
going to travel with me he mentioned he would like to install a cruise
control system as well.  If I remember correctly I bought the parts and
shipped them to him so he could install it.  It worked well for him on the
trip to Maine and he's been using it ever since. 

The reversed OD escutcheon worked pretty well.  Its hard to tell that the
cruise wasn't factory installed.  The only thing I had to do was to epoxy a
washer on the back side of the escutcheon to hold the cruise stalk in the
proper position because the hole in the escutcheon was slightly to large in
diameter.

Worked quite well by the way!

Henry Frye and I tried to use the cruise during the TSD rally without a
whole lot of success, but hey, it was worth a try!
