TEXAS
HEALEY ROUNDUP 29 Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet nor DARK OF DAY shall stop real Healey people from attending the annual TEXAS HEALEY ROUNDUP. Actually, there wasn't any snow or sleet, however, there was plenty of rain.
The weather cleared late Saturday morning, bringing sunshine for the rally and the gymkhana. |
The Hospitality Room Friday afternoon and evening had some scrumptious munchies and hors deouerves to scream about. Congrats to the Gulf Coast Club and, in particular, Mike and Anne Johnson for cordinating a great event.
We hadn't been to the Stagecoach Inn in Salado since the middle 80's and it presents a delightful venue. The bonus side of the Saturday morning popularity voting in the rain was you didn't have to clean your Healey since they were all wet. NTAHC
popularity winners: The
sun appeared for
the rally and was almost as bright as the NTAHC Rally winners: Following
the Rally was the Khana. The course was tight and treacherous. The
Grand Competitor was awarded to John Lomax who once again made the trek from Ontario,
Canada with his traveling comrade Diesel. Many
of us should use Lomas as an inspiration to get out and drive your Healey. With
reasonable maintenance, a Big Healey can be a tried and true road warrior - always
eager to rack up those miles before the road runs out on another Healey day. One
of the more interesting sight at Roundup 29 was a battery powered red Bugeye.
It had 6 or 8 Optima batteries and was a very sanitary "green" conversion. South Texas announced ROUNDUP 30 would be back to the Hill Country, namely, Fredericksburg. The following are NTAHC attendees: |
