like to nominate Pete for membership in FOT. Mark B. can you get him added
to our astute group? I'll let Pete's note serve as his introduction to the
group. Welcome, Pete!

JACK, HOPE THIS WORKS! WOULD LIKE TO GET ONLINE WITH THE FOT GROUP. I HAVE
BEEN RACING SINCE 1967. STARTED WITH A TR-4 AT MARLBORO RACEWAY IN
MARYLAND. WON (2) CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH THAT
TR-4 AND SOLD IT IN 1970. NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
LOOKING. THAT CAR ALSO WON ME THE ME THE DRIVER OF THE YEAR AWARD IN PHILLY
REGION AND WAS PRESENTED BY MARK DONAHOE. FROM THERE WE WENT OPEN WHEEL
RACING IN F/C,F/B AND PRO ATLANTIC WHERE WE WON (3)
MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND (1) PRO ATLANTIC TITLE IN 1986. AFTER 1988 I RETIRED
AND TOOK UP GOLF , WHICH I MIGHT AD IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING I HAVE EVER
PLAYED! SO MY WIFE FREDA SAID WHY DONT YOU GET AN SPORTS CAR AND GO
VINTAGE.
SO HERE WE ARE WITH (2) TR-4 AND (1) +4 MORGAN . THE RACE ING TR-4 I FOUND
IN S.C. IN DECEMBER 98 ,BROUGHT HOME AND TOOK 3 DAYS TO REMOVE THE WHEELS ,
I KNEW I WAS IN FOR A LONG RESTORATION
BUT WITH THE HELP OF YOU,GEORGE WRIGHT,KEN GILANDERS AND OTHERS THE CAR IS
COMING ALONG
WHEN THE TR IS COMPLETED IT WILL STATE OF THE ART FOR 1966. IT IS A BIT
DISSAPOINTING TO SEE ALL
THE HI-TEC EQUIPMENT , BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY. I AM LOOKING FOWARD TO
RACING IN 2000.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING,PETE GATES
