[Healeys] Sad news - Rallyist Killed in Healey 100

[Michael Oritt]

Michael--

Most of them weren't "open" ditches--they were filled with rocks.
I fondly recall the time we missed a left-hander, went off the road,
somehow hurtled OVER the ditch and landed in a tree in a fellow's front
yard.  As I remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared the
branches out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took off
without much conversation.

Best--Michael Oritt
