Re: [ST] Triumph Is Going Racing

[Dave <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

This went out to the RAT pack leaders from Triumph of America:

Subject:
[RAT Pack Leaders] Triumph racing

As the subject line notes, Triumph will be re-entering the racing arena in 
the UK with the well known and successful Valmoto Team. This will be a 
fully-supported factory effort and limited to the British 600 Supersport 
Series. All contact, requests for information and so on, should be directly 
to Valmoto. Their email link is info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Triumph Motorcycles 
(America), Ltd, is not involved other than as spectators. At this time we 
have no plans of our own to compete and simply wish our British breathern the 
best of luck.

Regards,


Mike Vaughan
