The winter snows in the Miami Valley have
melted away, trees are starting to bud, grass is turning green, and the
temperatures are showing a warming trend. Triumph season can’t
be far behind!
We are now inside of 90 days until the start of TRA 2004. It will
be here before you know it! The Springfield, Ohio location chosen
for this year’s event is rich with attractions and activities for your
enjoyment, in addition to the normal TRA festivities. Check
below or at www.miamivalleytriumphs.org
for registration forms, event schedules, and the latest activity
updates.
Registrations are rolling in, hotel rooms are filling up, and we’re
seeing a dwindling supply of TRA 30th Anniversary wall clocks for the
first 75 registered cars. Don’t wait to mail in your
registration if you want one of these awesome clocks for your home,
office, or garage!
Registrations will be accepted through the last day of the event, but
for registrations received after May 1 we will not be able to guarantee
the availability of your TRA 2004 shirt order. Shirts will
be ordered from the printer in early May, based upon registrations
received to date, plus a very few more. To be assured of
getting the shirts you want, please have your registration to us before
May 1st.
This year’s event has been expanded to 3 full days, beginning with the
first of two early morning breakfast runs on Thursday Morning. Industry
experts will host a tech session each day on panel beating, chrome
plating and polishing, and cylinder head modifications for use with
unleaded gas. Friday’s Participant’s Choice car show is
open to all Triumphs, with classes and awards for TR2, TR3, TR3A/B,
TR4/4A, TR250/5/6, TR7/8, Spitfire/GT6, and "Other" Triumphs.
Owners of TR2-4A models may choose to submit their cars for
Concours judging. In addition to both escorted and
self-guided tours to local attractions, Saturday’s Rally will include
a "London to Brighton" segment that you won’t want to miss!
Considering that 2004 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Triumph Register
of America National Meeting, the members of the Miami Valley Triumphs
are working especially hard to create a fun-filled event that every
Triumph enthusiast will enjoy to the fullest. If you’ve
never been to a TRA national, or if it’s been awhile since you did,
2004 is the year you should choose to attend. Even those who come
to TRA every year are going to be amazed by the quality of this year’s
meet!
See you in Springfield!

The Miami Valley Triumphs
of Dayton, Ohio are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the 2004
TRA National Meeting in Springfield, Ohio on June 24-26 (Thursday
morning through Saturday night). Many driving tours, visits to
local attractions, and activities are planned for each day of the event,
so arrive early and enjoy all the fun and excitement that we have
planned for TRA's 30th Anniversary celebration!
The host hotel and center of all TRA activities will be the Holiday Inn
(Holidome) Springfield South, located at I-70 (exit 54) and St. Rt. 72.
Overflow rooms are available at the Hampton Inn, located at the same
exit and ½ mile west of the Holiday Inn. Please make your
reservations directly with either hotel and mention that you will be
attending TRA to receive the rates shown below (+ tax). Camping is
available in the vicinity, and this information will be made available
in the near future.
Holiday Inn Springfield South ($80)
Hampton Inn ($71 per night)

We think that everyone who attends this event will agree that it is an
ideal location due to its rural proximity and city amenities.
Country roads with minimal traffic for scenic drives and tours can be
found a short ½ mile and one traffic light away from the Holiday Inn.
Despite this seemingly rural location, you'll find over 26 restaurants
in the immediate area, and enough
local attractions, tours, and unique shopping to suit any taste.
