This is something I just got from the Vintage Racer Group (VRG), one of the vintage clubs I run with.
I realize that many of you guys may not be racers, but you may know other member of the A-H community who are racers. Some of them may be interested in this...please pass it on (I will also post it in the BCF "Events" and "Racing" area:

<span style="font-style: italic">VRG is getting a lot of entries for Austin Healeys (big Healeys and Sprites) at the VRG New Jersey Historic Races, September 18-20 ... so we figured, why not feature them?
So we'll have a special all-Healey race sometime during the weekend, maybe even twice (one Saturday and one Sunday if I can work out the schedule). No extra charge, all Austin Healeys welcome, Sprites, 100-4's, 100-6's, 3000's, heck we'd even love to have a Westland or an Elliott (the "Austin" part is waived for them).
True, the 3000's do have a bit more displacement than the Sprites, but lap times for a fully-modified 1275 Sprite are just about as quick as most big Healeys. I think everyone will have someone to race with.
So, if you have already entered -- THANKS -- and please encourage your Healey buddies to come. If you haven't entered yet, here's another reason to come. You'll get plenty of track time in your "regular" race group, then the additional bonus of the Austin Healey Feature Race.
