Toronto Triumph Club Classic

The annual Canadian Classic was held last weekend, including a track day at Shannonville, about 140 miles east of Toronto, a pub night that evening, a cruise on Friday round Wolfe Island in the St Lawrence river reached by ferry across Lake Ontario, and a car show on Saturday in Kingston.

I took about 2 hrs to watch the North American Shark Championships, (a Shark is a 24 foot sloop, a popular race class) from the Kingston Yacht Club.

About 65 cars attended, including 11 TR3/a, a dozen assorted wedges, 8 Spitfires, 5 TR4/a and the usual large group of TR6s.

I was happy the new blue Spit survived without problems, did 900 kms (about 562 miles) over the weekend. I attribute this to taking tools with me as insurance!

Glad your new Spit is working out for you (too bad about your TR4).
As we've said before, Shannonville is a neat track (and thanks for converting to miles for my Ludite brain!).
 
Actually, for me one of the best things that weekend was a ride with a vintage racer in a TR powered Morgan.
Very expensive motor, Moldex forged crank, Carillo rods, forged pistons, 7000 rpm., lots of acceleration, but only moderate grip on Dunlop L series race tyres.
Simon.
