From right to left: My 100, Peter and Ann Hunt of Scotland's 3000, Julian Bowen of GB's 100-6, Bill Cantrall of Illinois' Bugeye and Clive Randall of Scotland's Westland. Several others to the left got cropped out including Bob MacElwee of St. Louis's 3000.
We were part of a group of Healeys running from Ocean City to Lake Tahoe on Route 50 for Open Roads 2002--a number of us wanted to divert to Bonneville and the day the picture was taken we ran from Tooele, UT (near Salt Lake City) to Ely, NV.
We stopped for the photo-op at the end of the road that runs out to the Salt Flats--a pretty spooky and very salty place. From there we ran to Wendover, UT then got on Alt. 93 and on to Ely--this last stretch is what is generally called "The Loneliest Road"--at one point we were directed by NV State Police to pull to the side of the road as practice runs for a sanctioned no-speed-limits timed event that was to take place the next day were being run on a 15-20 mile stretch of the road. There were go-fast cars from all over the US parked at the martialing area. Reportedly, after we passed one car went off the road at something over 150 mph and the driver was killed--the event was supposedly cancelled. (What did they expect was likely to happen?)
We rejoined the main group in Ely that night and next day ran from Ely to LT on route 50.
