With the Goodwood Revival completed there is some leisure time and marvelous company at Tony and Anne Eckford's lovely home on the Thames River. They are near Marlow where there is some of the best curry in the UK... at no where else than the Tiger Garden!


Friday, Tony has booked his company's apartment and lunch at Rockingham, the new CART style track, for a number of Le Mans Tiger principals.


We are at Rockingham to bring the Le Mans Tigers for a static display, to watch the ASCAR practice, and the possibility of driving in a noon-time track exhibition for our two cars. The Coupes are positioned adjacent to the Budweiser Pavilion... not entirely a bad thing!!


Rockingham.


During the day Bill Miller (keeper of the Hollywood Sportscar Tiger) and I discuss the splendors of Tiger-dom.


Timing is everything. Peter Phelps captures the moment when Brian Lister (left) and Ken Hazlewood (right) hop in Nº 9 for a photo op. Ken worked for Brian in the '60s and was in charge of the Le Mans Tiger race car project. Ken has some incredible stories to tell about the two cars!
