as we move closer to United 30 we have set plans for what will be a spectacular united and a must attend show for any Rootes Group fan..this year we have some very special guests and some special rootes cars to attract more fans.but more on that later..Uniteds have come and gone for several years,30 to be exact and travel all over the east coast and midwest with a yearly rotation.the midwest uniteds have always drawn a bigger crowd and this year should be no different.
The town of french lick has been more than gracious with letting us come and invade there otherwise normal town for the first weekend in october.so without further delay here is the plan

Special guests
We have some special guests lined up for this years United,our main guest who will be attending the entire show will be the fastest man piloting a sunbeam to date,Larry Mayfield,he just recently went 210 mph in the bonneville salt flats.he will also be our guest speaker at our banquet dinner on sunday night talking about his runs on the salts
we are also having a lead designer for rootes group named John Clegg,he designed the 1725 alpine motor and helped with many rootes group projects in the english factory days,we are having a little informal chat and presentation on friday night about his days at rootes group hosted by Tiger Tom
another friday night special will be followed by Scca champion Tom Patton with Team Tiger to talk about his race season with the fans hosted by another Team Tiger member,Barry Schomeberger.
