Sunbeam Tiger 50 year anniversary at Laguna Seca
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2014 1:05 pm
Stumbled across this great online Album of Tigers at the 50th meet across the pond at Laguna Seca. Photos were taken by Travis Compton, and below is a little commentary he made;
Mike Michaels, CAT President arranged a Photo-shoot on the start finish line of the Mazda Raceway Historic race car event, cars dating back to pre war vintage racing on the track. Tigers got to drive the track to get to Starting line & ran rest of track after the shoot with a pace car...was still lot of fun. My car is the white one all the way in back row. Location was determined by lottery.
The White one in the front row was the George Baskoff Prototype built in 1963 that launched the Sunbeam Tiger mark. George Baskoff is standing in front of the prototype & field of Tigers, now 86 years young. He is swimming every day at his place in Hawaii with goal to be oldest man to win the swim competition there.
Great images of Tigers racing and attending the race meet:
