I would like to nominate a man for FoT who is near and dear to me. Chuck Mc=
Guire was a vintage racer before there was such a thing. He attended SCCA d=
river school in 1964 and started racing right away, taking a TR3A to the tr=
ack with a Plymouth station wagon with the family and a trailer en tow. He =
has raced famous Ghost Tracks like Greenwood Roadway and even has a few tro=
phies and podium finishes at various tracks around the USA. He was the winn=
er of the Badger 200 at Road America in 1967? (I have seen the undated trop=
hy) (Any info on this would be appreciated). Budget and family cut his raci=
ng career short, as it has done to others time and time again.=A0=0A=0AChuc=
k lives right up the street from me where he has built 6 TR3As ranging from=
1957-1960. All of his children now own one, including an award winning 196=
0 TR3A that he shipped to Australia for his daughter Denise as well as a ro=
om full of car show awards. He is an absolute genius with Triumphs, earning=
him the name "Mr.Triumph" by his peers. I had a wonderful opportunity to s=
pend the duration of the Kastner Cup weekend festivities with him and his l=
ovely wife Charlotte. He has helped me numerous times with my Spitfire (mak=
ing me do the work with his guidance) and also the Drive Away Cancer Iowa T=
R4A. I accredit the many miles I have put on both cars to his expertise. I =
was very surprised by the amount of people this weekend who knew him or of =
him. He is the epitome of a Friend of Triumph. An absolute gentleman racer =
until his last breath. He has been featured in magazines and newsletters th=
roughout his years. He has never strayed from his love for TR3s.
He is a senior member of our local British Car Club and is always there to=
help. He is a retired Des Moines Fire Dept mechanic, EMT, and fire fighter=
