There are three classes for Sunbeam Tigers: Stock, Personalized and Modified. Please review the guidelines to correctly classify your car for TU44. Once a classification has been assigned the car will compete in that classification for all TU44 events. If you are having difficulty classifying your Tiger, please ask one of your fellow Tiger owners who has been to a Tigers United or one of the TU44 committee members.

Stock

This class is intended for Tiger owners who are attempting to retain their Tigers as close to original as possible. All LAT options are allowed and attempts to replace worn original equipment such as paint, upholstery, and trim as closely as possible are accepted and encouraged. Modifications from stock and miscellaneous additions will tend to reduce points in this class.

Personalized

This class is intended for Tiger owners who have personalized their cars to suit their own intended uses and desires. Tigers in this class must clearly retain their visual identity as Tigers. This has proven to be the most popular class in the past and personal modifications must be limited. Major modifications are not appropriate and these would include non-LAT fender flares, running gear modifications including: engine changes beyond small block Fords (i.e. big block Ford, Chevy, Hemi, etc.), transmission changes beyond Ford Top Loader or T-10 (i.e. automatic, and 5-speeds, etc.), and rear end changes beyond the stock Dana (i.e. independent rear suspension, narrowed rear end, etc.), gearing and positraction changes to the stock rear end are accepted. Wheel sizes in this class are limited to 13” and 14” diameters with widths not to exceed 7 ½ “.

Modified

This class is intended for Tiger owners who have substantially altered their vehicles appearance and/or made major engineering changes. These would include but are not limited to such modifications as supercharging, fuel-injection, Weber carburetor, transmission changes from stock, brake (rear disc) and significant suspension design (non-stock steering rack) changes. Wheel diameters of 15” or greater and non-LAT fender flair beyond should be entered into this class.
