esident <br>
octogenarian, John Hasty. Those of us who race the eastern part of the <br>
States have probably met him at the track, piloting a yellow TR3. John <br>
was always great fun to chat with, his extensive background in <br>
motorcycle racing usually came up in some way or another. After "aging <br>
out" on two wheels he decided it would be a better idea to race on four <br>=
wheels and was still on track with us last year at the age of 88 years <br>
young! At the spring race at VIR I see he was still right in the mix, <br>
finishing 12th out of 29 runners in the Saturday race.<br>
<br>
Trying to remember when John arrived in the scene, I searched my <br>
archives. In 2011, Don Marshall nominated John and forwarded this <br>
introduction to the FOT.<br>
<br>
"I've been into racing most anything that has a motor and wheels since <br>
the 40's when in high school building hot rods. Took off a few years <br>
while in college, but beginning in 1959 bought my first sports car, an <br>
Austin Healy 3000 w/o a jump seat, next a MGB, then a Porsche 912, then <br>=
a Merc 280SL, now an Alfa Spider for the street and my TR3A for the <br>
track. Crewed for a friend in the 60's with a bug-eye sprite in SCCA <br>
events then got into motorcycles. I road motorcycle road-racers for <br>
about 10 years and when I retired from riding, built and tuned 250cc GP <br>=
road-racers with a rider on the AMA pro circuit for about 7 years. We <br>
did pretty well, never finished worse than 5th. in overall standings and <br=
>
won the national<br>
championship in 1990. My good friend Ceasar Cone got me back into sports <br=
>
car racing and when it came time to buy a car I decided that if I was <br>
going vintage racing I wanted a truly vintage car and I think the TR3A <br>
is a perfect truly vintage car."<br>
<br>
Our kind of people, no doubt. You will be missed, my friend...<br>
