This Week With Cars
Racing video from my Triumph TR4 in the 2013 All Triumph Race (Kastner Cup) at Road America with the VSCDA. This race was held on Sunday September 8th 2013 during the 28th annual Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival. R. W. “Kas” Kastner was there to oversee the competitors in the race held in his honor.

I spent the weekend down at the local off road park in my M35A2 M109A3 overland camper to get the park cleaned up and build new obstacles. I took my Caterpillar D47U Traxcavator down to help out with the heaviest work. After six hours moving rocks and concrete I needed to adjust the clutch in the Cat which turned out to be a very messy job.
I picked up a M109A3 2.5 Ton 6×6 shop van and drive it 235 miles home. These are a rare version of the M35 with a fully enclosed windowed box mounted on the back.
I have to keep it quick today because an Inland Hurricane hit Iowa last weeks so here is a quick update on all the projects and I show you a quick tour of how many parts I have sitting around. If anyone is looking for something they saw in the video let me know.
