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!
