> Hello Sunbeamers:
> It's my honor to send out the first announcement about next year's
> Tigers United 2002. Bill Graf of CAT has taken on the "highly paid" task
> of organizing the event. I'll be handling publicity, and Jane (Sage)
> will again handle registration. I'll be contacting as many Rootes clubs
> as I can over the next few weeks as more detailed information becomes
> available.
>
> In the meantime, Tigers United is definitely set for Mammoth Lakes,
> California, on either the third or fourth weekend of June 2002. Bill is
> getting final bids from a couple of hotels there, both of which are
> anxious to host the event.
>
> For those who attended Tigers United in Mammoth a number of years back,
> as Jane and I did, it was an awesome location, a great hotel setting,
> and just plain fun all around. Just as importantly, from almost wherever
> you're coming from, there are some great winding mountain roads leading
> to Mammoth that will be sure to give your Tigers, Alpines and other fine
> Rootes vehicles a serious workout.
>
> When United was last held at Mammoth, it was in the 55 mph speed limit
> days. Jane and I drove up in our Tiger, leading a caravan of eight or
> nine Tigers from the Los Angeles area. I thought I was pushing it at
> 65-70 mph but I got a few complaints about our lack of progress
> (something like..."is there something wrong with your Tiger??") so I let
> someone else take the caravan lead. Suffice to say, speeds quickly
> escalated way beyond the realm of sanity. I'm sure my speedo was off,
> and all of us passing cars at well over 105-110 mph on stretches of
> highway 395 (just one lane going each way!) couldn't have been the case,
> could it? I can still hear Jane's screams of "We're going to get
> killed!!!" in my ears. That said, the Tiger handled better and was solid
> as a rock at those speeds, and felt like it still had plenty of RPMs and
> miles per hour to go even at those exalted velocities. That was more fun
> than money could buy!
>
> In my nicer current Tiger, and being a bit older (if not wiser), I would
> of course never exceed posted legal limits. On the other hand, with my
> hi-po 289 and 5 speed, I wonder just how fast it would actually
> go.......Let's see, I cruise at 75 in 5th at about 2300 RPM, and my
> redline's somewhere around 6,000 RPM.........Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!

> Start making your plans now for a great event next summer.
