[Tigers] Tigers at Monterey

[Buck Trippel]

All the Tigers survived the Pre Reunion weekend in good shape.

In the featured race on Sunday, John Morton started at the rear of the 35 
car grid (due to a broken rocker arm during the Saturday qualifying race) 
and drove the Sports Car Forum through the pack to an 8th place finish. Tom 
Sakai withdrew due to a pesky electrical problem. Gordon England finished 
25th in the Le Mans Coupe while Lorraine Gruys came in at 29th.

Favorite Terry Gough also had a mechanical problem which caused him to drop 
out while leading the race. Tommy Steuer won the race in a GT 350.

Morton showed flashes of speed several times during the weekend. He was 6th 
quickest in the Saturday practice session and 3rd quick during Sunday's 
warm-up. During Sunday's race, he and one Cobra were consistently the 
fastest (193 Kph) on the radar gun on the main straight when passing the 
Start/Finish line. Hopefully the rocker arm problem is solved and he'll be 
able to cut loose during next weekend's Monterey Reunion.

Tigers are scheduled to practice Thursday and Friday at 9:15 AM. They have a 
qualifying race on Saturday morning that will set the grid for their main 
race Saturday afternoon. The Tigers do not go on track on Sunday.

For those attending the races, the Tiger pits are in "F" aisle, spaces 12 
through 18.

hope to see you there,
