    Great forum, glad to be on it! Owned a 1965 MK1 Sunbeam Tiger in the mid 70's and sold it to raise cash to go SCCA road racing with my brother (showroom stock when you could still bang doors and not get black flagged). Ran, and I mean ran, some of the last SCCA sanctioned standing LeMans starts at Lake Afton and Ponca City where drivers stood across the track from the cars and at the signal bolted to their cars, buckled up (not if you want a fast start), and went racing. Migrated to Formula Vee eventually. Lots of fun, but wish I still had the Tiger. Looking for another one to replace it at this time. Don't think I can afford a GT350 but that would be my first choice! I'm a videographer (just finished a documentary on the Dodge Viper which may help Chrysler decide to keep producing it) and I sell Class III firearms as a second business (legal machine guns, silencers, etc).

    Welcome Dave. Sounds like you have some good racing memories even if it cost the Tiger to get them.
