I met John when he contacted me about my TR3A racer. I think it was
2008. He said he found it on something like the 10 screen during a
google search. He was already in his 70s. I wasn't sure he was a real
"Triumph guy" (after all he had owned a Porsche). As it turned out, he
was a very enthusiastic and durable Triumph racer, excellent driver, and
continued the transformation of that car.

<div>John was quite the steward of his cars. He bought his first
yellow TR3 from Larry Young. It was my first race car and I
had sold it in 2000 to another guy in our club. Larry bought
from him for the 2003 season and started improving it
immediately. Larry raced with us for around 5 years, long
enough to use his engineering background to become a camshaft
"master". After he couldn't race anymore he sold the car to
John in what might have been in 2008 or 2009. When I saw the
car again at the first Pitt Race K Cup I almost didn't
recognize it, it was so much better prepared. It later met its
end and I think John built another.</div>
