The Alpine Marque - The Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club of America

UNITED XXIII
Charleston Scouth Carolina : Oct 11-13, 2002
Things are really starting to shape up for one of the best Uniteds ever! For
you Tiger owners there will be several TAC senior inspectors attending our
United and they will inspect your car for a fee. More information will be
available soon as well as scheduling. I have met a Tiger owner who has a
portable dyno and travels to various vintage races and car shows with his
dyno rig. For about $45 he will dyno any car you want to test and give you a
printout of horsepower and torque at the wheels all the way to redline as
well as your air/fuel mixture at any RPM. This could be a LOT of fun seeing
who puts the most power to the ground-or just to see how well your engine
is running. We will have to come up with an award for the winner of the
horsepower shoot-out and this includes Alpines too! Please-if you are
interested in doing this, send me an email at sunbeams@sc.rr.com as
soon as possible so that I can see if we will have enough cars in order for
him to bring his dyno to us.
Bonnie and I spent last weekend at the Hilton with the East Coast Mini club.
You are going to really enjoy staying at the Hilton-it is a wonderful place! We
have 100 rooms blocked for the United and so far over 30 rooms have been
reserved. Please make your reservations early so that you don’t miss out.
The Hilton’s phone number is 1-888-856-0028. Call between 8-5 PM (Mon-
Fri.) and ask for in-house reservations. Tell them you are with the Sunbeam
car club and/or Tigers East/Alpines East to get our discount rate. The
discounted room rate is good for 3 days before and after the United if you
want to stay a little longer.
Thanks for sending your United registration forms in early. A drawing will
be held at the United from all early registrations (before October 1st) and a
special prize given to the lucky winner as an incentive to register early!
