Henry....and all,
Bob is going to try to join us at Heartland Vintage Grand Prix this August as
he did at Watkins Glen.
Bob was one of the three "Legends Speak" at Watkins Glen, sharing the
spotlight with Ed Diehl and Kas Kastner.
We have nothing formal planned for but we expect Bob to hang out with us as an
honored guest. Henry, now you will have to come.
Make no mistake...this weekend is about TRIUMPHS.

Bob, Is that little white TR your car? How did you make it from Airman 1st
lass to 21st at Sebring in a TR3? I'd love to know more about your run at Ft.
umner and at Sebring. As would I'm sure the FOT Group.
Cheers Henry

enry,
hat is great. It is 90 % more than I had before. I was pitted beside that
r. Sherrod. Really nice guy. I should have followed up with that contact, as
found out at that race that the Texas people had too much money for a lowly
irman 1st. class to run against. Thank you ever so much for this much. I
ave the trophies from Sumner but no program or action photos. As I said,
hat Morgan was from Texas, with black uniformed crew, trailer for the car,
ith an aluminum body on the Morgan. Here I am, fresh from Europe and racing
y ride home. Worn my tires out during practice and got the tires off of the
oswell dealers demo car to run the race with. The dealer name was Bill Hart.
id you ever hear of him? Very fine fellow We will talk more about this
vent and the hill climb at Los Alamos. Please run me a copy of the program.
t is strange that I either never had a program or did not retain it, which is
ad for me to believe, as I retained everything of those race involvement's. I
ill copy my pit photo to you when I get it back. It is loaned out right
ow.
y address is:

ob, Here is what I've got. All the photos are from the event in Oct. '56.
here is a TR in the photo Titled "they're off" on the left. These photos and
he program were given to me by Bill Randle who drove Porsches. Please send
e your address so I can send you my Sebring book that I'm having all the
rivers I can get who drove there to sign.

enry,
o we have any contact with FOT members in West Texas? The majority of the
ars at the Ft. Sumner race were from Texas. For example, there was an
luminum bodied Morgan, that I beat, that was from Texas. He came over after
he race and seemed very provoked, as he said he had never been beat by a TR
reviously. I will appreciate any help you will be able to provide.
ob Johns
