<br>
Thanks to our own media maven Shawn Frank, we have been nudged to get <br>
going with our first press release and the event poster! Those of us who <br=
>
belong to the Vintage Triumph Register get the magazine, The Vintage <br>
Triumph, and know that Shawn is the editor. Be sure to look for coverage <br=
>
in every issue from the next one due in a few weeks all the way up to <br>
the event next fall! Thank you Shawn for the great support!!!<br>
<br>
Details for the event are starting to come together. I will share the <br>
pertinent facts as they become available.<br>
<br>
Event Poster: I have attached the event poster, thanks to Curt Johnston <br>=
for helping us with that!<br>
<br>
Schedule: Test day is the Tuesday immediately preceding the event. The <br>
track is happy to have racers park their race rigs at the track in the <br>
assigned spot for the event on Tuesday, but you can't stay at the track <br>=
until Thursday. On Thursday, the track hosts a drive through the <br>
Berkshire Mountains open to race cars and street cars alike, a real <br>
treat for many. The drive ends in Falls Village, a quaint town a couple <br>=
miles from the track for an old-fashioned street fair. On Friday we <br>
practice in the morning, qualify in the afternoon. Then two races on <br>
Saturday, and on Monday morning we have another race before the main <br>
event. We run the Kastner Cup race right after lunch with the ceremony <br>
to present the Kastner Cup after the race.<br>
<br>
Eligibility: The race is open to all Triumph powered race cars. The <br>
caveat is, as always, tire rules. Cars must run on Vintage tires, <br>
meaning no slicks. I urge any potential participant to contact me with <br>
details of your car and we will do everything possible to get you in the <br=
>
race.<br>
<br>
Triumphs get their own run group: There could be some exceptions to this <br=
>
one, if we get too many Triumphs registering for the event we may be <br>
forced to bump the uber-fast cars to fast group, or a car prepped well <br>
beyond Vintage rules may run with a more appropriate group. Same may <br>
apply to some of the less-fast cars, we may have to bump them to a <br>
not-so-fast group. But we will all race together on Monday afternoon for <br=
>
the Cup.<br>
<br>
Lodging: This will be a challenge. We urge everyone who is planning on <br>
attending and not camping at the track to secure bedspace as soon as <br>
possible. The closest town with a variety of known hotel chains is Great <br=
>
Barrington, Massachusetts, about 30 minutes from the track. It is not <br>
practical to identify a host hotel for this one, the hotels are not <br>
large and get filled up early. An option some racers use is to double <br>
(or triple) up and secure lodging from AirB&B or VRBO. There are houses <=
br>
available in the area that work well for this. Also, there is <br>
information on Lime Rock's website with some closer options, but none of <br=
>
them are large and the scope of this annual event usually has them <br>
filled by the same racers year to year!<br>
<br>
Sponsorship: As always, there will be expenses that the FOT needs to <br>
cover. We are soliciting donations for sponsorship as we have done in <br>
the past. Please contact me, Henry Frye, with any questions or with any <br>=
interest in sponsorship. We will continue to use the gofundme page for <br>
those looking for a convenient way to contribute.<br>
<br>
Sunday: Lime Rock Park operates under a moratorium that prohibits <br>
running race engines on Sundays. The track pivots on Sunday to host a <br>
large concours and car show. Race cars are invited to participate, but <br>
each one gets towed down to the front straight on the track as we can't <br>=
run them! We are in process of securing prime car show space for our <br>
friends with their street cars. Our plans for Sunday are still in <br>
process, but we envision some FOT gathering for dinner, libation and <br>
socializing. Again, stay tuned for more details as they develop.<br>
<br>
Feel free to reach out with any questions, I will do my best to get back <br=
>
to you quickly!<br>
<br>
We look forward to seeing you at the Lime Rock Historic Festival next <br>
fall!<br>
