Sounds like you really got things dialed in at Lime Rock, now it's up to the driver....

When are you going to come west with the TR3? Sears Point, Pacific Raceway, Laguna...

Hey Tim - What's you take on this? I hope the damage was minor....

My take is simple. I had just passed Tom Turner (Craig Conway was his co-driver). And was coming around a red Mustang that was fast on the straights, but not as fast as the TR-3 in the corners. As I was coming around the slower moving Mustang, Tom caught back up and misjudged the amount of room he had and hit me from behind, spinning me and caving in the rear quarter panel. I quickly got back on track and charged forward. The move caused me a couple of podium spots but I still was third in group and first in class. Tom took full responsibility for the accident and apologized and the TR-3 is at the body shop, but is not that bad. Hell of a race weekend and track.

As for going out west... I am putting my race schedule together in the next month. Have always wanted to run the big Labor Day weekend in the Northwest, but also don't want to miss Lime Rock that same weekend.

Thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing the Triumph back next season.
