I'm thinking it's time for the left coast. Maybe Thunderhill? It's a
hell of a track, though the surrounding facilities suck. Portland
would be great, the Columbia River Classic is the weekend before this
SVRA race (Memorial day weekend), and it's a high-track time event.
Most folks are sick of racing by the time the Monday races roll
around. it also encompasses the All British Field Meet which a lot of
Triumph folks attend as well.
I know I could get SOVREN to roll out the red carpet for FOT since I
helped to give this race a boost a few years ago. The Saturday at-
track party is legenday, an opportunity to get out your vintage duds,
and I can commit to a pretty cool FOT party at Casa Babcock.
