[Healeys] electrc fan vs. belt drive

I've been using an electric fan on my race Healey for many years. Gives a 
me an extra 29.016532 HP, substantially improved the handling, tire wear, 
brake wear, and I never break any spokes. Oooops, almost forgot. It really 
does help on cooling (compared to the fan), especially racing down here in 
the wonderful Republic of Texas. Another point (even tho' I've been told 
it's impolite to point), is that if you do sorta', kinda', not really on 
purpose of course, and entirely due to someone else's fault, scrunch (a 
techie race term) the front you don't end up with the fan in the radiator.

Cheers,
