Subject: Englishtown Run (race)
I haven't seen any posts re: the "Englishtown Run" put on by Dan Walters
with Frank C's help, so I will say it was a 'spridgets' event that many
of you easterners shouldn't have missed. Dan had mapped out an
excellent route through some of NJ's best back roads with some scenic
towns thrown in and the weather was perfect for top down driving.
Excellent food & crafts were available at the Englishtown Fair and the
'reserved' parking we had there couldn't have been beat! Seems that
when we got there we were the car show for the fair and were parked dead
center on the fair grounds. Everything was only a few steps away from
our cars.
The only 'problem' with the rally was that Frank, who lead the first
part of the rally, followed his motto of "drive it like you stole it".
Most of 'scenic' Jersey was just a green blur that you saw out of the
corner of your eyes as we transversed country roads at 65-70 mph! We
had our normal roadside repair clinic when Kevin Valentine's (or is it
Kathy's) car decided to overheat. 'Kermit' decided to eat his
speedometer on the way home and I kept hearing a wierd sound up front.
Today when I took a look under the bonnet I found my coil hanging by
it's wires where it had been banging against the passenger footboard.
Why one of the clip on wires, let alone the coil wire, hadn't let loose
is a mystery to me!
