[Healeys] Healey hill climb accident

The turning control head is easy...Race cars don't need turn signals so it
probably doesn't have a stator tube. The control head is just used as a
steering wheel center.
However I have a question. What is the roaring noise heard just after the
car comes to rest. It stops as son as Bernie hits a switch on the dash so
it could be the fuel pump going crazy because of the slope upon which the
car ended up but I'm not convinced.
BTW the significance of my comment about it "must be Wellington because it
is raining" may have been missed by many.
New Zealand has just gone through a long drought and Wellington was one of
a very few places that had any rain at all in the early weeks of 2013!!
