I confirmed that it was 1992 when Triumph was the featured marque at
Mid-Ohio's vintage race (I checked the date on my T-shirt).
I had my yellow TR3B racecar there, though I didn't drive it (nor did it
make the panoramic photo).
Tom H. graciously let me park my car at his house in Lancaster, for the
week between the Triumph Register of America National Meet and Mid-Ohio.
