All with interest in racing Healeys,
The youtube video is from my racing car, AH 3000 MKI 1961, primrose yellow
with two green stripes, driven by my sun Jaap Sinke. The AH is racing with the
European FIA rules en homologation paper for the AH 3000 MK I 1961. It is not
allowed to change the suspension and thus it is stock suspension with other
bushes. You see the suspension has to do a lot of work. We often change the
springs, shockabsorbers (they do not leak) and bushes and now we can se why we
have to care for the suspension. The weight of the car is about 1050 kg. The
topspeed at Le Mans of this car was last year 165 mph. When braking in the
night you see all the discs glowing red front and rear. Look at
www.healeymeetslemans.nl for some nice video's and photo's.
In the youtube link you can see the car driving by Jaap Sinke at an Dutch
airfield, so it is not real racing. It is the same track as the video with the
ssuspension. If you go to youtube and fill in the name Jaap Sinke Healey en of
Rinus Sinke Healey you find some more nice video's of racing with our AH
racing car.
Cheers,
Rinus Sinke, the Netherlands
