Dad was into gymkhanas and autocrosses in Arkansas. It's how I cut my

on the Austin Healey 100-4. Super-mini rally, wot?


We ran the Ontario Regional Navigation Rallye series and finished
4th, third, and second in the 3 rears we ran - and NEVER broke the
car. My brother was a crackerjack navigator and we zeroed more
check-points than any other driver the last 2 years. We also had the
lowest powered car in the series


clap, clap, clap You get the clap, Clare. Kudos.

My Dad did rallys in a Jag Xk-E for a number of years with his
Wolfsburg trained mechanic buddy Hans. Not off road of course. Then
they bought a Renault and never looked back.
