Just got home from two days racing at Laguna Seca.

We had 4 Tigers enter the mid-week event and they did really well in the 3 races.

In the first race John Morton finished second in our Tiger with Tom Sakai in 6th. Dale A and Dave Stone's HSC Tigers didn't start that race.

John won the second race with Tom Sakai in 4th and Dale in 6th.

By the last race, the trophy race, both Dave and ourselves had already packed up and headed home (we broke a spring retainer and who knows what else). That left Tom and Dale to carry on. That race was pretty wild with collisions and spins but at the end the winner was a Tiger - Tom Sakai's!

To make the day even sweeter, John Morton drove Tom's TransAm Pontiac to a win in its run group so Tom collected even more hardware. There were only 6 run groups and Tom's cars won 2 of them. Dan Walter's wrenches must be doing something right!

Congrats to Tom and all the Tigers who gave a hint as to what we'll see in August at Laguna Seca.

Buck,

great news on the Tigers doing so well.. lets hope the signs of a big racing season for the marque.

You said Dale A and Dave Stones HSC Tigers... as in Dales red racer and Dave's HSC 55? Or there is another car?

If i am correct there is :

Your SCF74
Toms Yellow 65
Dave HSC 55
Dales red car

assume the Firms/Gustrad Tiger, Monster Tiger and LM Tiigers are all getting ready for the big 50th season?

Yes those are correct...... Dale missed one race while having to change the front oil seal which is no small feat in a Tiger track side !!! Dave also was out one race as the motor would not fire up due to a loose wire on the start button. The guys looked good....damn John is fast !!!!!!!! zoom zoom
