Austin Healey Racing Sweden at Ring Knutstorp 2011

Hello Anders,

Nice to see more onboard Healey material.

You guys race hard! More Rally-Racing style.

You don't use overdrive? Or just not on this short circuit.

And no double de-clutching with throttle blip on changing down either?

Our gearbox can't take that. And it causes the car to step sideways before I enter the corner violently. Did that happen with the e-type also?

You should try entering the Spa Six hours. Think you will have a good result there. You have good speed.

Cheers Jaap Sinke

Hi Jaap,

Thanks a lot!

No need for overdrive on our short Swedish circuit. = one lesss thing that could break!

No heel-toe. Gearbox synconises very well (built by Hardy Engineering) but remember not to downshit at full revs...as when I spun with the E-type.

When finances allow I will be going to race with you at Spa.

Cheers,

Anders

Thanks for all encouraging comments!

Yes, the gearbox is a centre-change with straight-cut gear set with "Sebring" ratios.

Austin Gearbox ? We can see the E-type in the mirror time to time... Nice driving and nice movie anyway.

Anders -

Nice recovery after your "off". My favorite, was you pulling the E-Type off the line even with them having an additional car length lead.
