TR2/3/3A If you read the thread on the super K.Davis TR3,

from a few days back, that was certainly the 'good' from that Hemmings issue. The 'bad/ugly' was shown a few pages earlier as I recently found out in the story on the last SCCA runoff held at Daytona in 1969. As it turns out the TR3 with the #72 on the third page of the article is TS8651 which has been sucking up space in my garage for the last 40+ years. (Photobucket doesn't seem to like my cropped scan of the magazine's photo.) The photographer describes ol' #72 as primitive and crude. Well kinda....but was it ever well sorted out!

I read that article, the TR3 looked in good form! Still have those Silverstones on it?

Well they did finally put it on line and it's at www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2015/08/01/hmn_feature12.html#photoswipe1436204977205 (hope that works). Randy, yes on the wheels as well as every mechanical trick that was on it at that time.

haa!
In today's hypersensitive, touchy feely country, we TR3 owners could sue for hurting our feelings!
(& I would use the big bucks award to buy a less primitive & less crude TR250, with supercharger)

good article; thx for sharing.
