Three Big Healeys fill the top five places – Doug Escriva

The results are in, 3 Big Healeys fill the top 5 places in the 24 car rain soaked field. Doug Escriva (me) takes his first podium spot with 2nd overall, Richard Mayor 4th, and Dave Phillips 5th. This grueling 20 minute sprint took place in the heaviest rain showers of the day. Wet and exhausted after the race my hard topped Healey was ready for more action.
