I'm thinking my old "Plus-Four Drop-Head Coupe" probably wouldn't be the
right mount to take on the Audi guys with, either.  Do you think it would
improve the Cd much if I flatten the louvers?

Keith & List

The records set by Donald Healey were set in 1954 on the circle track at
Bonneville.  The 100 kilo, 100 mile and 1 hour stand out in particular for
a single driver attempt.

So who has got a Healey with supercharger that will run 156 mph plus for
these distances so that in the 50th anniversary year the runs could be
re-enacted? (Audi now hold the class records at over 200mph).

Oops.....I nearly forgot Keith that's over 100 runs continuously at Maxton
without any motor damage...... best call DD for something bullet proof at
3000cc max capacity....... LOL !
