Triumph Rover V8 Forum

[SlagleRacing]

Hello, all:

Most of you (except Woody!) are probably too young to remember the "golden age" of the TR-8. I (Ken) raced TR-8's in C-Production and GT-1 from 1979 to 1984, winning the C-Production (SCCA) National Championship in 1981.

Janet and I just returned from an 11 year circumnavigation on our boat, and have settled in Annapolis (at least for now). In the process of moving all our stored "stuff" from Harrisburg, we discovered a bunch of parts (and pictures) that we didn't know we had. The "highlights" are a couple sets of close ratio gears (new) for the TR-7 and TR-8 five speed gearbox, bell housing, Jongbloed wheels, forged TR-7 crankshaft (new), new TR-8 Zenith carbs, Champion N57G and N59G Gold Palladium spark plugs, etc... When we get some time we'll make a list and post it here. I may even get a couple car pictures uploaded to our website.

As we get organized, we hope to get to some races and meets.

Nice looking car, Woody!

Ken-
I am in the process of building a TR8 Rally car using NOS BL Motorsports parts. I live in Ellicott City, MD not too far from Annapolis. I am very interested in the close ratio gears. I also have one of your engines too that you used for testing.
