During Southeastern Healey Classic in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in September =
2002, Michael Oritt was navigating for me in the fun rally. We missed a =
clue, which both of us recognized too late, so I whipped off into a =
paved side road to turn around. I missed the big pot hole and hit it =
hard with the left front wheel. Ouch!
We continued the rally but came upon a couple of ladies whose Healey was =
dead in the water, so we stopped to help them. Realizing our hopes of =
winning the rally now were gone, we just went back to the hotel. =20
Later that evening, I participated in a slow-speed Healey parade through =
downtown. Each time I ran over a manhole cover, I could feel a knock in =
the steering column. The next morning, I discovered the left front =
shock had ripped the top of the tower on three sides and the shock was =
rocking back against the column. =20
=20
This was a real problem =E2=80=93 where to find a welder on Sunday =
morning in Gatlinburg? Obviously, I couldn=E2=80=99t drive the car 500 =
miles back home. Once my problem became known, a group of Healeyites =
gathered around offering suggestions. Bill Walton of the Carolinas AHC =
in Charlotte said he had trailered his BT7 to Gatlinburg behind his =
motor home, and could trailer my BJ8 back to Pete Delaney=E2=80=99s shop =
in Charlotte for repair if I would drive his BT7. Wow, would I! =20
