You've got to respect guys who drive their cars to the track. We had 2
guys show up for Vintage on the Prairies here in Calgary that drove a
100-6 Healey and an MG TD from Bellingham Washington about a 10 hour
drive then race for 3 days and drove home. The amazing part was the
Healey driver Dave Philips was keeping up with the slower Tigers running
race rubber and he was running street tires one hell of a good driver on
an unfamiliar track.
