1964 PWW

My First car.

My 1959 Austin Healey Sprite and my first race car.
The car came in white but after a small incident I had it repainted Black.
Isky cam.
Ported and polished head with sodium filled valves.
Engine balanced.
Lightened flywheel.
Close ratio gear box.
Up graded brakes.
Shocks reviled with DuPont Golden 7. Sort of like STP. Really stiff.
Front hinge hood with quick release to remove.
.030 overbore. and balanced.
Front sway bar.
Single hoop roll bar.
Seat belt from a B 25 Bomber.
Racing Dunlop R5 recap race tires.
I really loved that car.
I could keep up with a Healey 3000 in a drag race to 50 mph.
It would also out drag MGA's.
I was shifting it into 4th gear at 80 mph.
