<div class=3D"PlainText">I=E2=80=99m still looking for a second race car to c=
omplement my GT6.&nbsp; In the Triumph family, I=E2=80=99m interested in a T=
R6. Could be vintage prepared, could be an SCCA production class car.&nbsp; I=
deally I=E2=80=99d like something that is =E2=80=9Crace ready=E2=80=9D or so=
mething
 reasonably close, recognizing of course that all race cars continually need=
 work. I guess what I=E2=80=99m saying is I=E2=80=99m not looking for a tota=
l project or an incomplete car.&nbsp; Blown engines, etc are fine.<br>
<br>
Heresy, but I=E2=80=99d also be interested in a non-Triumph race car- sports=
 racer, anything European, Datsuns, no formula fords.<br>
I intend to run vintage on the East Coast, but there are a couple of events,=
 and also clubs (HSR) where the rules allow a wider range than the tradition=
al pre-1972 prep level.<br>
Plz let me know if you have something or know of someone who does.<br>
Thx,<br>
