[Healeys] Healey Vintage Racing at Spa

looked to me like the jag driver was just playing with him and could pull away whenever he wanted.  just my observation.

The other odd thing is that the Jag overtook the Healey in the straight very
quickly. As before the Healey was always head-to--head or a little bit
quicker, I would say that the Jag driver was pushing the engine above normal
rev limit to avoid one shift. Aagin not a good decision on the long run. The
Healey was quicker 60-70 percent of the track. Even he the Jag driver kills
his engine he would have lost.
