I do remember years ago, at Roebling Road, Jack Woerle was running either an
MG 1100 or an Austin America. Ted S. and I were co-driving an 1147 Spitty, and
Jack was quite fast and a bear to get around in the turns when he was up on
two wheels. Very impressive from behind. Finally passed him on the front
straight.
Great fun!

Maybe they figured it was the car least likely to be reported stolen! <G>

I drove one briefly, many years ago, as a friend had asked me to do some
work on it (new brakes and such).  Better than riding the bus, but only
just!
