Greetings all.

Let me toss this out to all those that have already "been there, done 
that".   In order to quit beating my TR-6 to death I have been looking 
for a spitfire project car to turn into a race vehicle.  This would be 
used at l
ocal autocrosses and some club racing at Nelson Ledges.   I have come 
across a 1972 GT-6 that just might fill my needs.  Before I make any 
investments of time or money I would like to know if this year/make of 
Triumph wou
ld make a good  racer.  I am not planning anything exotic,  just a fun 
car.  I currently own a 73 GT-6 and feel that it is too fragile of a 
car to be both a driver and a racer.  My thinking is if I get a second 
one and ab
use it and it breaks, well what the heck,  I’ll just park it until I 
get the time and money to get it back on the track.   How about some 
feedback from the field.

        I also have a MK 1 GT-6 engine (complete)  that I would like to 
pass on  (cheap) to it’s next owner.  I purchased it to rob parts off 
of in order to feed the motor in my current GT-6 that was trashed when 
I bought it.  W
ell guess what, "dem parts don’t fit (needed the crank)".  This motor 
hasn’t run in awhile, but I have had the bottom end apart and it looks 
pretty darn good inside.  If anyone in the northern Ohio area might be 
intereste
d please drop me a line.  I am located west of Cleveland.
