Ah, The Kastner Cup at Heartland Park.
One of my favorite racing weekends of all time, a real treat.
My first Kastner Cup.
I barely made it to the track. I had stayed up for days straight trying to =
get my car ready. Upon arrival I was greeted with the warmth and friendship=
of several the Great Triumph hero=92s I had, until then, only read about i=
n the funny pages.
My car broke in the first session.
A spectator, a GT6 guy named Brad brought me a moss covered barn find trans=
mission that we installed under the Kansas moonlight.
The next day I was racing again.
I have this distinct memory of Sam Halkias screaming up behind me in the Ca=
tawamba Marina TR6. Looking back through my wink mirror he waved, paused an=
d signaled to me with facial expressions and hand signals that only us auto=
racers could understand saying =93nice job little buddy, here I come; I=92=
m now going to fly by you on your left side=94.
We partied, raced, bought an Ambro body and finished our first Kastner Cup =
there in Heartland Park.
When I got home, there it was, a long and personal email from Kas Kastner=
=85praising me, my dedication, the sound of my car, my driving style, and l=
ap by lap list of how many tenths of second I was improving each lap in a s=
egment of the track where he was taking =93splits=94.
I couldn=92t believe it.
It was the start of what Kas called our =93unique kinship=94
He sure had a nice way of motivating people.
Godspeed old pals.
