  Hey, watch what you say about goons and Barracudas, I represent that =
remark! I have a nice '66, 273, 4 speed, and all the options, which were =
few in those days. It has what is known as patina, I think; a little =
bondo, a few dents, but it's a hoot to drive and gets a lot of comments. =
And very easy to work on; I used to work on them in a previous life.=20
  =20
  Anyhow, good luck to all and throw a log on for me.=20

    Well, once again the Alpine winds of the Midwest threaten to start =
their blow about this time of year.=20
    We have one last chance to prove our Triumph worthiness among a =
field of cars that also think their Marque is the greatest production =
car of its time.=20
    This event is historically rich in Triumph excellence and defeat.=20
    The 46th running should tell a Triumph tale of our region.=20
    Entry list for the dual 25 lap races (100 miles total) is somewhat =
low on the open book end...=20
    For the vintage race, only Sean Alexander (TR4), myself (GT6+) and =
newcomer Alex Amys (GT6+) are entered.=20
    And my bet is already on my faithful teammate Brian Garcia in his =
1967 Plymouth Baracuda .=20
    Then there is Glade Snodgrass racing his hit or miss Spitfire in FP =
racing the 50 lapper.=20
    Scott Barr will be out in his Spec Racer Ford.=20
    I was surprised to see no Tony Drews signed up to play.=20
    but Rumor has it that another big man won't be a no show.=20
    Bill Detinger is flying in from sin city just to see our show.=20
    Of course it'd really more about his mini Beady Eyed loved ones =
going trick or treating and hitting the track for the big wheel race.=20
    I suppose its anyone's game.=20
    Sean has been strong and consistent all year, I'm running a back up =
motor in my yellow car; and the young Alex Amys has built a real looker =
of a GT6.=20
    Alex came out to Road America this fall and it was a real treat to =
see his fresh GT6.=20
    He and his dad David have done a wonderful job so far,=20
    Their spectacular white #84 GT6; gets a high grade cosmetically and =
is top notch from an engineering standpoint. =20
    I hope to show them what a little patina is worth.=20
    As for Sean, I'm not sure if my old #27 has enough meat on it's =
bones to take the top.=20
    Anyway, if you are into Triumphs; can't exactly skip a flat stone in =
the ocean, and are not racing this weekend yourself...=20
    It seems the only reasonable that you head to Blackhawk Farms right =
now.=20
    Beacause=3D=20
    A) My awesome daughter Naomi is going for a "3 peat" win in the big =
wheel race.=20
    B) Damndinger rented a garage just to host a wine and cheese party.=20
    C) Some goon is racing a Plymouth Barracuda.=20
    D) Scott Barr is bringing a Magnesium wheel to "White Light" burn on =
the Friendly Ghost Racing Bon Fire.=20
    (yes this is the race where we get really crazy and burn truckloads =
of wood and stuffed animals and light up the sky burning all kinds of =
nutty melting shit).=20
    E) The legendary Glade Snodgrass will be racing a spitfire that =
could explode at any minute.=20
    F) Joe Alexander needs to measure the size of your valve cover for =
his next Gasket Innovation.=20
    G) Perhaps a young and Fresh GT6 builder gets corrupted by a bunch =
of Mad GT6 hooligans in turn 2. (Yes David and Alex that is an =
invitation to paddock near us in the scary side of the track; out in the =
woods by turn 2) if you dare.=20
    H) We party and burn stuff on Saturday... and Race on Sunday.=20
     I) What happens at the Looong Race stays at the Looong Race.=20
    X) Yep, this is the big one.=20


    If you can't make it, just look up into the Midwestern sky at about =
8 pm central time on Saturday night. The orange light you see is our =
epic campfire.. a symbol of Triumphs Burning everywhere.=20
    Godspeed.=20
    Jason Ostrowski=20
    Friendly Ghost Racing =20
