Alas!
Now I can come out of the closet!!! That Tiger in the photos at this and other TE/AE events was yours truly.
I still have the suit and the two Tigers that I’ve owned for several years.
At one of the events, in order to throw off any suspicions of the Identity of the Tiger, I had my son, Mike, dress up in the outfit so that we both appeared at the same time.
Maybe I’ll join up with the group once again.
Regards,
Mike Mooney

Hey Mike, I knew it was you all along, remember I used to help you get into your suit at United X. It was a great experience following you in my MKII all the way from NYC and back and the event was a lot of fun. Unfortunately I sold my Tiger a couple of years after that but I still try to keep up with the latest on the mark. Please contact me if you read this comment so we can cath up on the latest 20 plus years.
Merry Christmas !!

Man I was skinny back then and that is Dave and me entertaining my daughter. It was a great experience hosting a United in such a fantastic location. The drive around the track was a lifetime experience. As a result of some enthusiastic Tiger owners I am not sure if our ban from the track was life time or or not. Having our west coast brothers join us was very special. Barry
