Bill Sweeting Remembered
On Monday, March 23, 2009, the Triumph Wedge Car community lost one of its greatest friends and advocates as Bill Sweeting, former Secretary/Treasurer of the TR8 Car Club of America, lost a year long battle with leukemia.
For more than a decade, Bill, along with David Huddleson, managed the TR8CCA while it grew to over 400 members during its peak years in the late 1990s. He was a familiar sight at regional British car shows, particularly The Roadster Factory’s Summer Party, which became the unofficial annual gathering of the TR8CCA. Bill’s promotion of the 1998 Summer Party, at which the wedge was the featured marque (the first time the wedge car was so honored at a major event), resulted in a class of more than 80 TR8s; the largest gathering of the marque before or since. This page is dedicated to Bill and will feature events in his honor. Dates of future meetings will be posted here.
