Hello FOT,=20

 =20

I wanted to report some great news regarding the Sonoma Kastner Cup.  As =
many of you may be aware, the registrations by Triumph drivers is very =
low this year.  We only have a dozen cars to date.  But significantly, =
SVRA has committed that the Kastner Cup will run as a separate run group =
throughout the weekend regardless of the car count. =20

 =20

This includes the Kastner Cup race on Saturday, and a KC Reunion race on =
Sunday.  Most cars will also be able to run in their regular run group =
as well as the Kastner Cup.  There is a conflict with Triumphs that may =
run in Group 8 but we have asked for a schedule adjustment and we should =
know what changes they can make by next week.=20

 =20

Bottom line is that we will have 30 minute races both Saturday and =
Sunday.  Also important is that the test day includes three 30 sessions; =
1.5 hours total on track.  Sonoma has a brand new race surface this =
year, so it will be interesting to find out how that impacts lap times.=20

 =20

I also want to confirm what Henry Frye wrote recently that the new fire =
supression system requirements will not be enforced until next year.  =
Regarding tires, the Kastner Cup is open.  Since we don't have any =
special tire limitations, just run on what you have in the past or what =
you may want to try out this year.  However, if you're running slick =
tires for example, you will not be eligible for a points/podium finish =
in your regular run group; but that will not impact your Kastner Cup =
results.   =20

 =20

So I ask this question; who is going to win the two Kastner Cup races in =
2024?  While our Grand Marshall Hardy Prentice will select the Kastner =
Cup Trophy Winner, the field is wide open for race podium finishes =
without the 250k or TR8's running.  I think its stacking up to be an =
outstanding weekend with lots of track time and unknown race results.=20

 =20

I hope you'll consider joining in the fun if you're not registered yet.  =
Thanks.=20
