Friends of Triumph Honor Joe and Dottie Richards
In 1980 Joe Richards purchased TR2 TS1 LO and subsequently spent 18 years of his life meticulously restoring the first TR2. Targeted by the UK at the North America market, it featured LHD and Overdrive. This merits our attention and respect, as Joe and his family preserved an important part of our Triumph Racing Heritage. The TR2 was the first low cost performance sports car that enabled the rapid growth of our sport in North America. Hill, Gurney, Kastner, and many more talented racers started their careers with TR2s and TR3s. Joe and Dottie have agreed to join us in the paddock with the number one TR2 on display. They will also be participating in activities in the Village of Watkins Glen. FOT Robert Smith will be working with the Richards for the transport and display of the TR2 TS1 LO and coordinating their activities. Press releases, on this and other FOT activities will be forthcoming by one of FOT's sponsors, Classic Motorsports magazine. In the meantime, please review the following link that contains pictures of how the UK Honored the Richards in 2003 for the 50th Anniversary of the marque.

TR Register National Weekends
New Zealand
February-March, 2009, 2010

Hello everyone:

As you may have read in TRaction or perhaps heard elsewhere TR Register New Zealand Inc is undertaking a project to encourage visitors to our country with a TRemendous interest in TRs to join in our local activities while they are here or even to venture to our shores just for a TR occasion.

Of particular interest is our major annual event, the National Weekend. This is normally held in February or March during the better weather of our southern hemisphere summer or early autumn but visitors are also welcome to any regional and local events. The website www.trregister.co.nz has a calendar page that lists all events throughout the country and this is kept as up to date as possible. There is also a specific set of pages dedicated to the National Weekends ( 7th - 9th March 2008, 26th February - 1st March 2009 and similar dates for 2010) that include all current information about the weekend such as registration and accommodation information etc.

If you think you will be able to join us or would like any further information contact us by email: info@trregister.co.nz and we will do our best to respond as quickly as possible.

TRA JUDGING STANDARDS AND RESTORATION GUIDELINES
NOW AVAILABLE ON-LINE, AT NO CHARGE!

Dear TRA Members:

During TRA 2004, the TRA membership voted to make the Judging Standards and Restoration Guidelines Manual available via the website to all TRA members as well as other Triumph TR2-3 enthusiasts. The PDF file is the current TRA Guide and can be downloaded through this website (1 Mb). Printed copies will no longer be available for purchase. (However, printed copies of the TR4 manual will continue to be available via orders to Lou.)

Since 1993, about 450 of the TR2/3 manuals have been sold. Sales volume has tapered off to a dozen or so a year the past few years. The light volume makes the production and distribution of the manual

increasingly costly. On the other hand, the decision to make the manual available on-line will allow

members who purchased years ago to access the most recent version. Also hopefully, new addenda will be encouraged if some of the pain associated with the production are removed.

Enjoy, everyone!!!

John Gabel

TRA Chief Judge
