Andy Holliday, 2021 Convention Chairman, would like to extend his personal invitation to all triumph enthusiasts to join COVTR and Green Country Triumphs in its celebration of the great Rt 66 and its legacy in Oklahoma.  The host hotel will be the Hilton Garden Inn of Edmond just north of the current Route 66 by about 3 miles. The organizers have planned to incorporate as many events as they can so that everyone can explore what Oklahoma has to offer. There will be the usual gimmick rally, autocross, funkana, and concourse but they are also planning on doing a walking tour of the local area and a simple TSD rally that requires no experience or calculators to compete in.  There will be a craft, photo, and model contest as usual with awards for all events. All participants will have multiple opportunities […]

*** Postponed Until 2022 *** Triumphest is a three-day event that occurs once every year and is usually held in either California, Nevada, or Arizona. It is open to anyone who has a Triumph automobile and wishes to attend. People from as far away as Canada or the East Coast have attended. This year, the San Diego Club is hosting the event and will be holding it in San Diego at the Dana Resort in Mission Bay. This is a beautiful resort with plenty of amenities. Many activities are scheduled, and it is a fun way to say hello to all your Triumph friends near and far.  

*** CANCELLED *** After deliberation, the organizing committee has decided to cancel TRA 2021 scheduled for June 14-18, 2021 in Lexington, KY. This was not an easy decision for those of us in Miami Valley Triumphs who have spent countless hours and club funds in planning TRA 2020 only to have to postpone it to 2021 in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. We want those of you who planned or were interested in attending to have some background on why this decision was made.
