[Tigers] Sunbeam period race photos

Mathew,

I agree whole heartedly with your statement, "so apparently the information that I have uncovered is not known by the majority of the people in the Tiger community."

Unfortunately, details and documentation regarding most Sunbeam racers in the US has been simply forgotten or lost over the years.     There are exceptions, Jim Adams, Don Sesslar, Dan Carmichael, etc, but the real details have simply been lost.   Hopefully, this information will be re-discovered and made public at some point.  Either in a book or website.

I have really enjoyed chasing down the average "joe (sunbeam) club racer" just to hear what they had to say about racing during the period.   I'll never forget one racer I talked with in the Mid-west.  He went to the 67' ARRC and as he explained that year Datsun had their drivers send their cars to Daytona be tuned and dyno'd by Datsun factory support teams before the event.  You could tell he was still pissed off about that level of support extended by competition!
