Instruction for those who have never driven a manual transmission before and those who have but not in a Healey.
Saturday Car Show: Car show and lunch in the parking lot of the Northwoods Resort.
Rocker Cover Racing: This popular event returns for CHW 2012. Participants will have the opportunity to build and decorate a racer made from any Austin Healey rocker (or valve) cover. Wheels are fitted to the rocker cover and the cars are raced side by side on an inclined track. An official set of rules must be followed regarding the construction of the cars. (using either four of six cylinder Healey covers). Two cars race side by side to the finish line, much like a drag race. Multiple elimination heats are conducted until an undisputed winner is determined. See the club website for the rules.
Saturday Evening Banquet: Silent auction, dinner and awards presentations at the Northwoods Resort.
Stay tuned for more details as they develop....
