I got to Sonoma Raceway this morning about 10:30. First car I encountered was Gary Black and his 1960 BN7. I talked to him about getting a ride and he was excited, because last race, no one purchased a ride with him. We talked Healeys for a bit and then I walked over to the charity ride booth and asked to donate to ride with Gary. To my shock, i was told all 5 rides were taken. I was disappointed but found Gary and told him he was a very popular guy to sell out so early. He was surprised to say the least. He suggested I comeback early Sunday and get a place. I couldn’t make it on Sunday but soon learned that all the Sunday spots were sold also. There were at least 20 other cars that had spots available but no Healeys.
So, it appears our cars are still in great demand, at least Gary’s is. Here are two shots of his car and one of some stranger taking my seat in the race Healey.
