[Healeys] Stripes/Racing stripes??????????

[raymead at comcast.net]

hello all



Way back when (mid 60s) , i was in a sportscar club in San Antonio, Texas

called Checkpointer's Ltd..........


There was a guy in the club (an Englishman who was in our

Air Force), who had a great Healey........... (I had an old beat

up and modified '56 Healey).................



As I remember it - he told me that stripes down the hood of a car

actually mean something - stripes could be thick or thin, and would

refer to both the car and the driver..........B  depending on the thickness

of the stripes, and their layout, it would mean something like "car ready",

or "driver ready" or "car and driver ready"..............



Anyone know what the heck I am talking about??????



tks, ray
