The Prather MGB is a blue car and doesn not have a full width roll cage. When
you say yellow MGB I assume you mean Dave Headly. He owns his own prep shop
fab-tech and is also an old time SCCA guy. On the SCCA production car forum
Jesse Prather stated that the car (at Road Atlanta) had a 1.46 in it which is
what Headly was running (I believe they ran as fast a 1.48 that weekend, but
were in traffic all the time). The Prather B, unlike Headly's (he uses a single
weber), has two 1 3/4 SU's. The motor is built up to FP specs and to quote
Jesse "Didn't put a runoffs caliber engine into it by any means to keep the
reliability up but she pops pretty darn good" So there is yet another B to try
to beat along with Headly, Munoz, and Luening.

I may have the name wrong, but wasn't there a guy named Prather at the Mitty
driving an MGB. If I am wrong, who was driving that yellow car that was for
sale?

Great post, especially the RPTRTDMG. Stockton will be back at the Glen this
year and his car should be much faster. It would be great to see many more
Triumphs there. It would be without a doubt the easiest place to get a MG
vs. Triumph competition going, since so many MG's regulary attend the event.
The story about Prather being there with his MGA was for dispay purposes
only. He was giving a tech seminar, and since they were already in the
"area" for the runoffs that were coming up he had his car with him. Though
this year he and his son, Jesse, have prepped a MGB and they are campaigning
it on the vintage circuit. It is a fast car (2:18's at VIR this past
weekend) So if they're going to show up this upcoming Sept, I would have to
imagine that they will be there with the B. So that adds yet another very
fast Group 3 MG. This year may prove to be interesting though..
