It is with great sadness that I inform
the FOT community of the passing of William R. ?Bill? Emery of Mt. Lebanon,
Pennsylvania, on February 17th, 2018. Many of you will not know who Bill was
as he
ran only in SCCA F and E Production. His 1959 TR3A was first entered in hill
climbs in the early 1960?s, some of those being the ?Old Smokey Hill
Climbs?. Bill
subsequently began road racing the car in 1964 and ended his forty-four year
racing career in 2008 at Nelson Ledges Race Course, his home course, in the
same car. Bill also raced on several road courses which do not exist today:
Marlboro and Cumberland. Bill often talked of getting into vintage racing which
would have required returning the car to its early years of racing
configuration.
One of the final morphs of the car can be seen on the FOT website under Triumph
Racecars TR2-TR3 section. Bill?s racing undertaking was self financed. Being a
mechanical engineer, he maintained, trailered, and drove the Triumph. At one
point in time Bill was one of the actors in a television series titled ?Thirty
Minutes? similar in format to the program known as ?Sixty Minutes?. The
particular episode was titled ?Life in the Fast Lane? which was filmed
during
?The Cumberland National? at Nelson Ledges. One of the other actors in the
program was Chip Ganassi. I was very fortunate to have crewed and wrenched for
Bill during the latter years of his racing career.
