Walt,

Some interesting points and I appreciate the input. I restored my car to a
high level and have a very nice place to start upgrades. I have already up
rated my brakes with EBC green stuff pads, slotted rotors, and braided SS
brake hoses (as well as all new brake lines, rebuilt servo, master, etc). The
stopping power is very nice and I would recommend such upgrades to everyone. I
do agree a dual circuit system may be something to consider. And I do agree on
the skill development. While I have autocrossed some over the years, I am by
no means up to the skill level I would like to be. Having grown up with a
friend that was an IMSA GTP driver I am aware of training, skill and
consequence. On point with your comment is my near term intention to attend a
3-day session at Skip Barber driving school at Laguna Seca this winter to
develop my skills. I am relatively close to Miller Motorsports Park which is a
fabulous track and I have hopes to take the Healey there with the local club
next season; a proper training is needed.

Cheers.
James Sailer
