I am not sure of the rules for these cars. I imagine they are a combination of strict in some areas regarding meeting original spec, but a little loose in others for safety and tightening of the field of competition a little.
Never raced my Austin-Healey. Didn't need too. It was too much fun just driving it.
For a while I also had an early Fiat124 Coupe. That was a fun car too. Rated as a 1.4L It was a few CCs less. You drive it with your foot to the floor. I taught my little sister how to drive with it. So she learned with a manual and for a while thought every engine reved to the moon.

Love it.
I'm rooting for any Healey, lol, even a Silverstone...
now if Tordoff makes it to 2nd or 3rd............friggin Awesome.......considering.
Me too!!!
Very nice from both a technical feat
and a nice distraction from the usual stuff.
A shame that guy dropped that classic motorcyle.. but at least he walked away.
Great stuff - must be chilly in Merry Ole England today, lol, lots of hats, sweaters and jackets...
I hate when that stuff happens.
This is actually a more technical form of racing because everybody balances the urge to win vs the desire to save their rides.
I think this is every bit as enjoyable to pay attention to as the "big time" racing. Maybe better in many cases.
Exactly.
I never risked my Healeys if I couldn't afford to repair damage or replace spoke wheels.
Are these guys running on original bias tires? That would be a major factor.
I used radials for everyday driving even though I lost more than an inch of height and kept a set of bias for rallies and such.
Loved the height, hated the handling.
Spun a radial off of the rim and melted the tube once, caused a great deal of panic when I limped into a gas station in a cloud of white smoke, lol.
