I am in Gander, Newfoundland with Michael Salter serving as navigator in his
100 for the Targa Newfoundland.? Yesterday was not an auspicious day for the
Healey marque:?
1.? Ivan and Ian Shelton,?a father/son team in another 100 went off during an
early Targa stage and the car is probably a total, though neither of them was
injured.?They are out.
2.? Michael and I completed yesterday's?runs (with one off incident?involving
no real damage to the car) but just before we reached Gander for the day's
finish the right axle broke and we limped in.? A replacement axle that was to
have arrived this morning was "mishandled" at the Toronto airport and is now
expected 4:00AM tomorrow.??The car is up on jackstands and awaits the part so
that we can resume tomorrow.
More notes as computer access allows.
Best--Michael Oritt
