Everyone,
Eric, Ian and myself would like to see more interest in Alpine vintage racing at
these meets. Ian and I found (and now own) two former racing Alpines and over the
winter we are going to have one of the cars running and maybe take it out on the
track a few times "for just fun". We have some ideas of developing a Sunbeam
race team that we have titled the "Beam Team" (thanks to Eric). We probably just
want to race in the organization that Eric races his car in. The cars seem pretty
much stock and the racers seem to be a great group to be with. We also have some
racing engine parts that we can use right a way. It's just going to take a lot of
manhours to completely restore the first race car and i'm getting my restoration
shop ready. Ian and I are going to restore the cars to look the 60's period
racing scene, and were thinking of replicating the Seacrest green colored Rootes
"works" cars. It's sounds like a lot of nice thoughts, but Ian and I have given
this effort a lot of thought and we now have the hardware to work with. If you
are interested in supporting this team effort, contact Eric, Ian or myself, and
lets talk about it.
