Hi All,

Okay I'm BAAAACK!!

I have not been watching the lists too closely due to being 200% into this new job, but I note a curious lack of publicity for one of the premier Triumph events of this century.

September 5,6,7 2008 at Watkins Glen!

Triumph Race cars, Triumph Race drivers, Concours d' Elegance car shows, sight seeing, Lake Seneca, wineries and food, antiques and shopping, Triumph celebrities with sports car and racing journalists from all over the world, the US Vintage Gran Prix, and remembrance of those great drivers and cars of the past.
If you are into Triumphs, THIS is the event you should not miss. But if you are into Triumphs, you already know about this epic event.
You will see many of the Friends of Triumph racers https://www.fot-racing.com/ who are some of our own marques racing legends, including Kas Kastner and more!

I am of course talking about 60 years of memories in one great weekend! Watkins Glen International Raceway is celebrating its 60th birthday - 60 years of Road Racing at the Glen, and featuring the Triumph Marque and vintage racers. Anyone associated with Triumphs and Road Racing will be there for the 3 days of celebrations, including a grand festival and car show hosted by the town of Watkins Glen.

If you have not made room reservations yet, you will find the closest rooms are 50 miles or more away, so expect a drive.

What does this have to do with the TTA 2009 Charity Drive?

Well, John Macartney is scheduled to attend this historic festival event and be in the "Legends Speak" tent at the Grand Prix Festival in the town of Watkins Glen, and at the VIP paddock on the race grounds. I will be joining John as the North American 2009 Drive Coordinator as we officially kick off the Triumph Trans America 2009 Charity Drive in Watkins Glen 4-7 September. The key to the ignition of the TTA Stag starting this drive is only 11 months, and the key to our kickoff is the Watkins Glen 60th celebrations.

If you and/or your club have volunteered to support this drive, please stop by and chat with us. If you have worked on the TTA Stag, definately stop by and sign the TTA poster board as a volunteer!! This will be our next step in planning and preparing for this drive, plus we will have the latest photos and status of the TTA Stag being Prepared by the Illinois Sports Owners Association (look for STTAG Restoration Team Member Irv Korey and others from ISOA to have Stag paint and grease under their fingernails!)

See https://www.grandprixfestival.com for details of events on 5 September, https://www.theglen.com for information about the 60 years celebration and races, and for information on the Triumph Trans AmeriCan 2009 Charity Drive, go to https://www.triumphtransamerica.org.uk/

See you there!!
