All,
I just want to add that of the many Healey races that I have seen with mixed
fields, these weree probably the most exciting. It was terrific to see what a
100S can do even fifty years on in the hands of a driver like Johnny Herbert -
and to see Clarkson pushing DD300 to the limit - and winning - was unbelievable.
