Steve, will you be running the Jag in the Trans Am race at the Festival in two weeks?

174 Cars already pre-registered for the festival and many more expected. (Steve's would be Group 7, his entry isn't there yet...) Steve?

Hi Diane

Yes we will be there and hopefully allowed to run in the Trans Am Feature!

We're off to the HSR Watkins Glen Event this week.

Great News! I've been checking out the entry list almost daily looking for your entry. Thanks for taking the time to reply. From the entries already listed, this Festival is going to bring back a lot of great memories from the early days of Mosport. Every class has a good selection of interesting cars. There will probably be more Minis in the sedan race than even when they beat the bigger cars regularly in the 60s!

It also looks like there'll be a couple of other 240Zs to keep Diane occupied!

We were quite happy with the car's debut at Mosport, since it last won there in 1981. Getting down to a 1:29 the first time driving the car at Mosport was unbelieveable, she's got alot more in there, we just need to get the seat time and set up right. We used Tullius's Mosport set up and were within a second of his fastest lap.

We did a complete post race inspection after my off in turn 8 at the BEMC event. We found what may have contributed to the back end locking up as I went into turn 8. The alternator wasnt charging and the battery was near dead, apparently our high volt MSD doesnt like low voltage and stalled the engine while I was turning in at 8 with a tonne of speed.

We ve fixed the bumps and bruises as well as the mechanical gremlins and hope to put on a great show with some of the other T/A cars at the Festival.

A Big thanks to Bruce Mills, BEMC and Colortech. We just got the photo you sent us from the event and it is awsome!
