Mike, I run R888R's on my TR-4 too, I'm assuming they are not 
objectionable to this race group.

I think Henry answered the grid limit question (about 40 cars).

            <p>It is a Friday / Saturday / Monday event with Sunday
              being a quiet day.  My recollection is that the Kastner
              Cup race is on Monday.  Confirmed - looking at older
              messages, Henry sent this out Jan 9th:</p>
            <p>"Thursday late afternoon the track hosts a parade open to
              race cars, 17 miles of beautiful New England countryside
              ending in a street fair in Falls Village, a quaint little
              town a couple miles from the track. If driving your race
              car on the street is not your thing, it is well worth
              finding your way to Falls Village to take in the scene. </p>
            <p>For the most part, we will have an All-Triumph run group.
              If our numbers exceed a safe run group, we may be forced
              to put some cars in a more appropriate run group, that may
              apply to cars on both ends of the timing sheet. If your
              Triumph is prepped beyond vintage specs, your tire choice
              will play a big factor on where you run. But rest assured
              for the main event, all the Triumphs will together for the
              Kastner Cup race! </p>
