Fall is here so we may start to get some cooler weather. It appears that several of our members are getting out to the various weekly Cars & Coffees and shows.
I've seen several impressive photos dropped by Clay Kaytis on the social media sites.
Several of us loaded up our cars for the Peaks to Plateaus tour starting on the 24th.
Peter Roses and Jeff Boysen have done an amazing job planning the leaf-peeping tour, starting in the Rockies and working our way down through Four Corners, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and ending the trip in Sedona.
Peter coordinated a carrier to pick up six club members cars at Hema Ratnayake's shop and dropping them off by the airport in Denver. They were picked up on the 22nd and dropped off by noon of the 23rd. Brian and Linda Hubbard are driving up from Phoenix and Tom and Barb Hartman are coming in from the Mid-West Austin Healey Club where they just wrapped up Conclave 2026 in Galina, Il. Will keep you up to date on our drive as we post pictures.
75th Anniversary International Healey Meet- We’re about eight months until the event. Just to remind you: the meet is in Lake Tahoe June 6th-12th, 2027. When you have a few minutes you should go to the website and check out the latest updates- https://www.healey75.com.
Steve Kirby, David Nock and Mark Lewis continue to coordinate the special cars, guest speakers and VIPs to make sure it will be a great event. It promises to be a fantastic time with lots of great cars, exhibits, drives and social events planned to keep everyone busy.
Other Great Healey Gatherings- It’s that time of the year again for our 4th annual Turkey Run.
It will be held the Saturday before Thanksgiving- Nov 21st. We have Peter, Hema, and Phil working on another great route. As in the past, we will meet in the morning and drive some great roads ending up at a local watering hole for lunch. So, save the date.
New Member- Please join me in welcoming Shannon West to our Healey family. Shannon is from Newport Beach and has a 1955 BN-1 100-4M. Welcome Shannon! 2026 Holiday Party- Save the Date. Anna Johansson and George Merino have booked our Holiday party again at the Shoreline Yacht Club in Long Beach. It is planned for Sunday December 13th, so ink in the date. Sign-ups will be on our website mid-October. As in the past, we will collect toys and battery funds for the Marines at Camp Pendelton.
A farewell- Unfortunately, after twelve years of leading the publication of our Healey Motor News as the editor, Tim McNiff has made the tough decision to step down. Tim has worked diligently hounding many of us to get our articles in on time and ensure our newsletter is of the highest quality. Please pass along your thanks to Tim for a job well done. With Tim stepping down in the coming months, we are looking for a Tim Replacement Unit (TRU). We are in discussions with a couple of folks but if you or someone you know is interested, please let me know. Thank You, Tim!!! Western Regional Tech Sessions- This month’s tech session had a technical glitch in the login/ password. Marc tried to rectify it but to no end. We apologize for the inconvenience but will have it rectified prior to the next session. Please keep coming up w/ the great questions.
About once a month I get an inquiry from someone that needs help with their car. I put them in contact with our members and sponsors and it has worked out very well, so when considering having work done on your cars, please consider reaching out to our knowledgeable members and sponsors. They help our club and provide rare (albeit vanishing) and needed services and products. Safe motoring, stay well and see you at the upcoming events.
