Subject: [Fot] Nomination Chuck McGuire





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.=20


Chuck 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=
 1960 TR3A that he shipped to Australia for his daughter Denise as well as =
a room full of car show awards. He is an absolute genius with Triumphs, ear=
ning him the name "Mr.Triumph" by his peers. I had a wonderful opportunity =
to spend the duration of the Kastner Cup weekend festivities with him and h=
is lovely wife Charlotte. He has helped me numerous times with my Spitfire =
(making me do the work with his guidance) and also the Drive Away Cancer Io=
wa TR4A. 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 ra=
cer until his last breath. He has been featured in magazines and newsletter=
s throughout 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.=20


We could all learn something from gentleman like him, and I am proud to say=
 that I have. I call him a friend and confidant. Can I get a second?


His contact info:
Chuck and Charlotte McGuire

Thank you!
