Tom, In the PIC 65beam posted you can see a Gent in a red shirt in the left side of the picture, That is John Miller, the owner of one of the four modified Alpines that were being judged. It is not a V6 conversion but had a 4 cylinder Nissan or Toyota. the other three are in fact V6's.
It is an interesting comment you made about the 1st time a class was made for the V6! As far as I know in recent times we have not had a V6 (Modified) Class.
If you may recall at the Furman Meet in Greenville, SC last year there were two Sunbeams that wound up being judged as 1st &2nd place. The Tiger won 2nd Place and my Blue Boy V6 won 1st Place
When I was invited to come up to the Stand and pick up my 1st Place trophy and that BIG Blue Ribbon, I did with all smiles, but asked the MC if I could make a statement, with the MC's approval I invited the 2nd Place Gent to come forward, stated my Sunbeam was not a Tiger but a V6 and exchanged Plaques with my new Tiger friend. I truly enjoyed the moment. Hoped it would help create a "new" Class for the V6's.
Then during the United XXXVI in Va My Blue Boy was the only V6 present. It was put in the Personalized Class.
Blue Boy took 2ndPlace right behind one of the most beautiful Sunbeams around owned by Sy ...... Different Class structure entirely. But, a good Class to be in
With more and more of the V6's turning up, there is a good chance to have our own Class.
