M ESTSubject: [Fot] Remembering John Hasty
I just found out that a couple months back we lost our resident=20
octogenarian, John Hasty. Those of us who race the eastern part of the=20
States have probably met him at the track, piloting a yellow TR3. John=20
was always great fun to chat with, his extensive background in=20
motorcycle racing usually came up in some way or another. After "aging=20
out" on two wheels he decided it would be a better idea to race on four=20
wheels and was still on track with us last year at the age of 88 years=20
young! At the spring race at VIR I see he was still right in the mix,=20
finishing 12th out of 29 runners in the Saturday race.
Trying to remember when John arrived in the scene, I searched my=20
archives. In 2011, Don Marshall nominated John and forwarded this=20
introduction to the FOT.
"I've been into racing most anything that has a motor and wheels since=20
the 40's when in high school building hot rods. Took off a few years=20
while in college, but beginning in 1959 bought my first sports car, an=20

road-racers with a rider on the AMA pro circuit for about 7 years. We=20

won the national
championship in 1990. My good friend Ceasar Cone got me back into sports=20
car racing and when it came time to buy a car I decided that if I was=20
going vintage racing I wanted a truly vintage car and I think the TR3A=20
is a perfect truly vintage car."
Our kind of people, no doubt. You will be missed, my friend...
