Todays Alpine Action AT PIR

Thanks for the compliment Skyward. Did Jim give you a ride in his Alpine? Did you get a chance to hear it run? Jim has sent me lots of pictures of his build process, so I know the quality that went into his beauty. Jim says that he is going to send me some pictures of the finished car. I can't wait!!

I did not get a ride but heard it run and it sounds splendid. The car is beautiful and the engine looks as if the factory put it there. Your kit and his attention to detail have produce a fine automobile.
Jim was the only street Sunbeam parked in the infield the rest of us smucks had to park in the lot. Won't be driving the Alpine tomorrow.

Thanks for the Sunbeam Race Support
Thanks to all of you who made the effort to get to Phoenix International Raceway this past weekend. You have no idea how SPECIAL it is to know that we have a bunch of Sunbeam fans cheering us on. I wish that we could have given you a better show Saturday, but in racing we have learned to live with the cards we're dealt.The changes we made, alleviated the heating problem.
In the Sunday warm-up session we ran the full time and had no problems. Because of the Satuday issues we started at the back of the 29 car field and had worked our way up to 15th before we "ventilated" the block. Even though we blew the engine, we still finished 23rd. The little bit of fire that occured was quickly extinguished by the rapid response of the fire fighters. The paint was not harmed in any way! Yipee!!!
Jill and I hope you enjoyed being a part of our weekend and feasting on the bratwurst. It is a traditon of ours that goes back many decades. We hope to see you at another race and invite you to join us.

Many Thanks to Jill and Roger for their hospitality. The fellow Sunbeamers from Yuma, Tucson, Phoenix and Reno, NV made for great company. My Sunbeam would not have gotten into the infield ( believe me I tried ) without some skullduggery and stealth, as well as a little help from Jill. It did get a lot of attention and comments for which I was pleased. To Jose: I'm still working on the final photos and tape I promised....my hardtop is almost finished...bodywork is done and awaiting the paint. Jim Dimond

Hello!
In case anyone is in the area, the Seattle Historics on the last weekend in June, are followed the next weekend by the Portland Historics. There are usually a few Alpines there to compete. If you're in the neighborhood stop by and say hello! There is a pale green MK I that is always in the hunt, always competitive, my red #61 will be there too...although I am at the back of the pack sightseeing. There are also a couple of racing Tigers also that regularly compete with SOVREN that are very beautiful and very competitive, one of which belongs to the SOVREN competition chairman Shelby S.
