mily:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">I wanted to report some=
great news regarding the Sonoma Kastner Cup. As many of you may be aw=
are, the registrations by Triumph drivers is very low this year. We on=
ly have a dozen cars to date. But significantly, SVRA has committed th=
at the Kastner Cup will run as a separate run group throughout the weekend r=
egardless of the car count. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=3D=

pan style=3D"font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">Thi=
s 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 wel=
l as the Kastner Cup. There is a conflict with Triumphs that may run i=
n Group 8 but we have asked for a schedule adjustment and we should know wha=
t changes they can make by next week. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p cl=
ass=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"font-family:"Helvetica",sans-seri=

al"><span style=3D"font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#33333=
3">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 h=
ours 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. <o:p></o:p><=

v><div><p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"font-family:"Helvetica&quo=
t;,sans-serif;color:#333333">I also want to confirm what Henry Frye wrote re=
cently that the new fire supression system requirements will <strong><u><spa=
n style=3D"font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">not</span></u></str=
ong> be enforced until next year. Regarding tires, the Kastner Cup is o=
pen. Since we don't have any special tire limitations, just run on wha=
t you have in the past or what you may want to try out this year. Howe=
ver, 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 y=
our Kastner Cup results. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p cl=

3">So I ask this question; who is going to win the two Kastner Cup races in 2=
024? While our Grand Marshall Hardy Prentice will select the Kastner C=
up Trophy Winner, the field is wide open for race podium finishes without th=
e 250k or TR8's running. I think its stacking up to be an outstanding w=
eekend with lots of track time and unknown race results. <o:p></o:p></span><=
