Sorry, Tenny but you miss understood Jim when he sent out that old ad yesterday. George was "Unmasked" as the Tiger. It was John Politzer that was the driver all season long. John Politzer sans Tiger suit was also the "lucky" ticket holder that ran the final round against George Hurst who was now wearing the Tiger suit. John had to do everything he could to sand bag and stay behind a granny shifting George Hurst.
This was a season long event of "Unmask" the Tiger. Every week a new clue was given in Drag News of who the Mystery Tiger might be. They also gave the Tigers' win loss weekly score. It was John sweeping stuff in front of the other guys cars. Lifting the other guys hood and throwing plug wires out from there, that where planted under the hood for John to do this. John also drove around on a mini bike at the track in the suit giving things out to spectators.
After one event they did a late night flat tow home with John in one of the Geeto Tiger cars trying to sleep when it flipped. When John woke the car was upside down and Dave and Sid where yelling asking if he was alright. They were trying to get John home for his grand mothers funeral.
