32 Race 8 employed per outing

24 Healey 12 currently employed

5 Yard equipment Employed as little as I can get away with

16 daily drivers

22 business.... most employed 

10 air compressor all employed

109 total... plus some that are just laying around... and I am sure I
missed something ... 

There is some argument about how many Race day cylinders are employed at a
time... I think the last count was 8 but the 228mph pass was made on 6.5
maybe....
