</div>
<div>Way back in 1989 I ran across another TR6 in the parking lot of
a local auto parts store and the ensuing conversation led to the formation of
the Hill Country Triumph Club. The next year we began holding an All British
Car Day as an annual event to meet
the Vintage Triumph Register requirement of an annual "feature" event. I've
had better ideas, but not many have lasted this long. The event is now a 3-day
affair and run by a dedicated committee.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Every 4 years our club rotated responsibility for the "Texas" VTR
Regional, but the Oklahoma clubs have helped us spread that out to every 6
years. Early on I was a regular attendee of the VTR Nationals years and
competing in the autocross on course at
Roebling Road in 1991 planted the seed for my racing addiction. Attending
these events helped me to decide early on that the HCTC should stay away from
the idea of ever hosting the VTR National. Our club membership was young and
busy with life, Austin was
too far south, our club wasn't big enough and most of all I didn't want that
type of responsibility to take over my life.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Years have passed, our members have aged, some are even retired, Austin is
on the bucket list of place to go see for a lot of people and our club is much
larger now. I've moved further away from downtown and I don't make it to many
meetings so I wasn't
there to talk them out of it when the HCTC agreed to host the 2019 VTR
Nationals. It will be held in nearby Dripping Springs from October 6 through
9th of 2019. Here is where, as a loyal transplanted Texan, I am required to
say, "you'all come."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But that is not why I am bringing this up. Austin is home to the Formula 1
event at Circuit of the Americas. The date for this event in 2019 has
forced the SVRA to move their Vintage National event at Circuit of the
Americas to the weekend before the VTR
National. That's right, the SVRA Vintage Nationals will be held October 3-6
and the VTR Nationals October 6-9. In a year where the Kastner Cup is in
California, and the SVRA is giving free registration, to Triumph
racecars for the Watkins Glen event a month
earlier, the thought of asking how many Triumphs might want to tow to
Texas, with no free registration, just to put on a good show for the 200 or so
attendees of the VTR National is the last thing I thought I would be doing, but
here I am doing just that. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The VTR National is happening with or without us as is the SVRA event. The
track, while fun to race is not a likely candidate for a future
Kastner Cup because it is a modern facility. This may be the most common
sense time for us to have a get together
at COTA. If we could attract enough cars we can integrate the track event into
the VTR Nationals by holding the Sunday kick-off party at the track. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I have to ask, who would want to do this?</div>
