[Healeys] Bathurst

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Bob

Glad you made it to the Mount and sorry that you didn't get a chance to drop
in and say hello.

Yes it is a most amazing circuit and unlike so many it's also a public road
when not close to racing. This means that it's possible to drive around the
circuit as many times as you like, providing you down exceed 60 kph.

Over Easter is the Festival of Sporting Cars race meeting at Bathurst with
480 competitors entered including close to a dozen Austin-Healeys, both big
and small. One of these will be Joe Armour's Le Mans Sprite. I'll be there!

Visiting Australia this week and had an opporunity to visit the race course
at
Bathurst today. 
What an experience!  Just drive onto the course and drive a
lap or two.  I've been on several 
tracks in the States(not racing) and none
of them have a distinct advantage over Mt Panorama. 

I was driving a left had
drive Suzuiki SUV and still had a great time, the 2 hour trip to get there
was well worth the effort just to get the chance to drive the course. You AU
racers certainly 
should be proud of your corse and the opportunity to race on
it.
