Guest hornet racer Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 i just wanted to say before this year i had never seen a triumph car. our race team now owns 2. wow, what a car! we have abused this car on every possible level, imaginable, and unimaginable. although i think we have just about toasted our first motor, im not going to complain. flat out in 3rd gear with timing advanced 16 degree btdc, this car is beating american made, high output 160-230hp cars. we have taken 5 wins and are currently in 11th place in points for the overall season. this is our rookie year, not just with the car, this is the drivers first year behind the wheel. i cant say enough about this car! what a ride! malcolm, thanks for all of your help! and thanks to everyone here with comments that have guided us to our wins. i will keep in touch and share how the season ends in october. good day to everyone.
