 World of Speed

 original event. (USFRA Admission : 10 USD per day or 20 USD for the Event.)
 More events in the planning will be announced at later stage.

You can Google more information.

As a former Austin Healey owner I will really enjoy seeing these cars.

Impressive debut by the Austin Healey 100 on the salt.  132 MPH from that 4 cylinder engine.

Not enough salt to run a 10 mile circular course 55 years later.

You Betcha, Kent.

Thanks for posting this, Wester.  What a fun historic short.  Looking forward to the return at WOS.
