[Healeys] Targa Newfoundland Healeys

[awgertoo at aol.com]

I am in Gander, Newfoundland with Michael Salter serving as navigator in his 100 for the Targa Newfoundland.? Yesterday was not an auspicious day for the Healey marque:?

1.? Ivan and Ian Shelton,?a father/son team in another 100 went off during an early Targa stage and the car is probably a total, though neither of them was injured.?They are out.

2.? Michael and I completed yesterday's?runs (with one off incident?involving no real damage to the car) but just before we reached Gander for the day's finish the right axle broke and we limped in.? A replacement axle that was to have arrived this morning was "mishandled" at the Toronto airport and is now expected 4:00AM tomorrow.??The car is up on jackstands and awaits the part so that we can resume tomorrow.

More notes as computer access allows.

Best--Michael Oritt
