FOT,

I would like to acknowledge Kevin Potter?s engine building prowess and 
contribution to our enjoyment of the TR4 that we race.

For those that do not know, we purchased Bob Wismer?s blue Triumph TR4.  We 
have had a great time with the car and have truly enjoyed getting to know the 
Triumph community.  Kevin Potter contributed greatly to our positive 
experience.  He may not even realize how much we appreciate the platform that 
he provided for us to get our start.  If that is the case, that is my fault for 
not saying thank you sooner. I will keep this brief, but I would like to 
recognize what Kevin Potter did for us.   

Kevin Potter helped Bob Wismer and Bill Dentinger with engines and other 
mechanical matters for their Triumphs.

Kevin built an engine for Bob to go with the TR4 that we purchased from Bob. 
Bob really wanted the new owners of the car to start out with a solid and 
reliable platform. Bob was very candid about the importance of the car being 
sold with a well-built fresh engine.   Kevin Potter built an engine that has 
delivered on Bob?s wishes.  

We have maintained the engine very carefully and gone through the lower end 1 
time since we got it.  We are in our FOURTH season with the motor that Kevin 
built. We are running lap times below 3 minutes at Road America and and we can 
consistently run laps under 1:29 at Blackhawk.  That engine is now going to be 
completely rebuilt.  However, we have not suffered any major mechanical issues 
with it and the head was installed so well that we have no issues with it in 
the 4 seasons that we have run the car.

We have a lot of admiration for Bob Wismer and his vision for the new owners.  
Furthermore, THNAK YOU to Kevin Potter for delivering on that vision by putting 
together the motor that he did.

Sincerely,

Paul Ricco
Blue #4
