With George, our 63 Healey BJ7 MkII 3000. Some tough competition in the class - a great MGA convertible with white walls, also black, a Morgan and a beautiful Aston Martin.
Anyway, we also won the People's Choice award for the class - so, anyone here who voted for George, we thank you!
Janet Guthrie presented the trophy, which was cool, because my wife, who originally bought this car in 1978 for $500 (yes, it was a basket case!) raced against here at Bridgehampton back in the day!
Definitely on a high cycle right now, so just felt I needed to boast a bit.
Here's a pic of George on the tour, on Friday, just before the show - limited to 40 cars!

It was fun hanging out with Stirling Moss, Dan Gurney, the other legends of motor racing there and a field or 2 full of fabulous cars.
Here's just one - the 1958 Buenos Aires GP winning Cooper T43 driven by Stirling Moss. This was Rob Walker's privately entered car, and it was in Newport, RI last weekend in prime shape!
