SUNBEAM NEWS FLASH
We thought you should know about the following historic occasion and
encourage you to show your support for these race teams by attending.
At least eleven drivers plan to race Alpines and Tigers at the SVRA Mid-Ohio
Vintage Grand-Prix race course on June 24 through 26. This promises to be the
largest collection of Sunbeam racers participating at one event in the East
coast for decades, maybe ever.
Sports Car Forum's original Alpine and Tiger will be racing. This is the
first meeting of these two vehicles since racing in the 60's. The SCF's affable
owner H.J. Meyer will be in attendance along with Drivers Don Sessler and Dan
Carmichael. To celebrate this occasion at least nine other Alpine and Tigers
will be racing.
Barry Schonberger, the defacto Rootes Competition director for the week-end,
is coordinating the "Rootes Compound" so all the race cars will be pitted
as a group.
Bob and Jean Webb will be the SUNBEAM ONLY car corral hosts. Sunbeams will
get preferred parking. Park the family car in the back lot and walk. Drive a
Beam!
