[Healeys] Went to a great car show this weekend!

[Jerry Costanzo]

My wife and I went to a great car show this weekend.  The Valley British Auto
Club has a show in Clovis, CA (Fresno) every year.  This year they had a two
day event.  On Saturday, there was a driving rally and a timed ralley.  On
Sunday, they had a car show on the streets of old Clovis.

The driving rally was great.  A drive into the foothills with many twisty
roads.  They had two groups of drivers.  An Agressive group and a "speed
limit" group.  I went with the agressive group and had the most fun since the
autocross at the Tahoe meet.  On the way back we had about 20 miles of very
twisty roads where I was following a new mini and an old mini.  I was driving
as fast as I could and had trouble keeping up with those two cars.   The
"govener" in the right seat only complained once, when the back end of the car
lost a little traction making a tight turn.  Those front wheel cars can really
turn.  I could catch them on the short straight portions.  Many of you would
love this drive.

I missed the afternoon timed rally as my brake lights quit and my wife and I
spent an hour testing electrical circuits until we decided that the brake
pressure switch was not working consistently.

The car show was great also.  About 100 cars, very nice display.  It was on
closed off streets and made for a good show because many of the shops were
open and there was a antique show at the same time.  The club did a great job.

Nice to have clubs with great volunteers to put on shows like this!
