Last year at Mid-Ohio, I had the pleasure of Elliott Forbes Robinson
being my instructor for the Slalom Course. Very nice man with a good
wit. As he stated "Sir, if those cones were the children of the village,
you just wiped out a generation"!

Subject: [Healeys] SOS '07 EFR
Hey y'all,
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/11372/sport-renaissance-man.html
Nice article on Elliott Forbes Robinson. I know he raced 2 Sprites
early.
The first is mentioned as having belonged to his father. That car was
autocrossed by Elliott and his sisters. The car pictured in this article
is
the 2nd, and was owned/prepared by EFR and Mike Mayon. That is the car I
own. Unfortunately the trick wheels were traded off years ago. I'd love
to
find a set of those. if any of you know where I might find a set.
SOS '07 will be the Fri & Sat. following Thanksgiving. Nov. 23 & 24. The
Thicko International World Headquarters are located at the Dream Farm. a
10
acre farm between Fond du Lac & Oshkosh Wisconsin. We're smack dab in
the
middle of dairy farm country. The Thicko shop (yes, it is also known as
the
"homo club" ) is well lit, and well heated, should the weather be crap,
as
it often is that time of year, we'll be comfortable. We have plenty of
parking.
WST
