Attached is a low-res copy of the 1st Group shot with Grand Marshal Keith
Files, the boss Joe Alexander, and the 2026 Kastner Cup cars. More to come,
including a per driver series of shots, based on finishing position. In
this photo, I did some Ai bodywork on Pat Darrow's Spitfire, fyi. I will
send high-res shots later.

This whole "work" thing gets in the way, a lot! As of 6am today, I have all
photos backed up twice and in the process of a third time at home. I shot
21,197 photos on my old trusty Nikon, 2090 on a Fuji, 1909 on another Fuji,
and the best assistant I could ask for, Erich Hischberger took 8919 photos
on my other Nikon. That is 34,115 photos!

I will be releasing it all on my Facebook page (
www.facebook.com/NorthAmTriumphs). There is already a ton of trackside
video on the page. I will also make a Dropbox file for all drivers and send
them to the FOT list so you can save your photos in high resolution, just
in case you wanted to print poster-sized shots. This may take a while, but
I will do my best.

What a weekend, what a show! The Friends of Triumph really know how to
bring the excitement. I felt the crowd and it was a spectacle! Thank you so
much for letting me tag along! I noticed a few of my shots were used for
the trading cards that VARAC released. Wow, I am honored! I am glad you
could use some of my shots. That is exactly why I send them. I would
consider that perfect usage.

It is an absolute honor to be recognized with the Amici Triumph Award. I am
humbled and blessed to be a fly on the wall. Thank you!

What do you all have for in-car video from the Kastner Cup race? Send me
your YouTube links and I will share on North American Triumphs on Facebook.

Thank you FOT!!!
