Hi Robert,
I live in Sacramento, California and recently bought a '74 TR6 that had
only a few years before come from Oahu. I bought it from John Shrum's
son. Apparently John was retired Navy and had a British car shop on
Oahu and did some SCCA Club Racing in the 80s and 90s. I am
autocrossing this TR6 now and plan to do some road racing even though
vintage racing in Northern California is not too friendly to TR6s.
Jim
Two '74 TR6s

Subject: Re: [Fot] Recommendations Needed--Mahalo for the Advice!
Aloha, Charly. Thanks for all of the great advice. Our track here on the
Big
Island is quite small, and the SCCA events are not exactly what I would
call
wheel to wheel racing, but rather driver skills exercises. We simply do
not
have a decent track in Hawaii, so we make do with what we've got. Maybe
some
day.....
I've also got a small collection of British sports cars--this has been a
passion of mine for 40 years. These are all drivers, and I do drive them
all. I
have also had some of them on the track, but bought Bob Coan's Spitfire
as a
car that I could dedicate to the track. It may be more car than our
little
track calls for (I doubt that I will ever use the overdrive), but it
should be
lots of fun and the guys and gals that do race here will like to see
another
real racecar at our events. Most folks show up in their everyday
drivers,
although we do have a Lotus 7 and some other unusual vehicles for being
in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Thanks again for your note. I've attached a few pictures from our car
barn.
Much aloha. Robert
