If you are in Portland this weekend stop by Portland International Raceway. We
are running
an SCCA double regional Saturday and Sunday. The vintage grid has been seeing
about 40
cars per event. I beleive the Oregon Region Race Director would allow a
swapped axle. His
bugeye runs a 1275 and a Datsun five speed tranny. I do know that our friends to
the north, SOVERN
would not allow such a change. They won't let me play with them because my 67
Sprite has
a Weber. For more information on Vintage Racing as part of the Oregon Region
SCCA connect

BTW, what is the scheduled and venue for the Triumph event?
