Austin-Healey Club USA 2010 Rendezvous June 28 -  July 2, 2010  – The anticipation, planning, email traffic, and phone calls amongst the Rendezvous Committee are all at an intense level these days.  The dates of this major Healey event begin in less than three weeks from today’s date.  The Rendezvous Committee is holding one last meeting in Eugene on June 14^th.  We will conduct a walk through of the Valley River Inn checking on facilities, discuss planned activities and schedules. We want to be sure we haven’t missed something.  At the present time we have received 110 registrations.  This compares with the 2009 registration of approximately 65-70.  Furthermore, we may see several more last minute registrations.  The event being hosted by our AHCO has all the ingredients for a fantastic meet.  I need to alert the members of the AHCO About something that may occur during the Rendezvous.  You may be asked to help the Committee members with the wide variety of tasks the event will present.  Also, if a visiting Healeyphile asks a question you can’t answer grab one of the Committee members for an answer.  Most of the time we’ll be easy to spot as we will be wearing a Committee shirt.  Several of us will head to Eugene on Sunday June 27 to begin set up for registration and other preparations for arrivals from three countries and 9 or 10 states.   Then let the fun begin.  It will be time to PARTAY!!

Portland Historic Races, July 9-12  – Activities Director, John Carter, tells me we have eight members registered for the Portland Historic Races.  In past years registered car owners were required to have their vehicles parked in the Club corral by 10:00 AM on the first day.  This can result in a significant line of cars waiting at the gate to cross the track into the infield. The earlier you can get there, the shorter the oine will be.  Please note that the Historic Races are scheduled for the second Saturday of July.  Therefore, the Club meeting date has been moved one week.  In the past we have tried to conduct at the race track but we found it too noisy from a meeting

AHCO Tour and Meeting July 17^th

We are getting ready for the 34th annual Portland Historic Races at PIR and would like to have the participation of as many Healey club members as possible. The number of members coming has been decreasing the last few years. Let’s get those cars out and active! With your Corral fee you will be able to park together in the race infield to enjoy the fun. Some may even want to autocross for a $5 donation to charity. At lunchtime you get to take a lap or two around the track just for fun. There are lots of races and vendors and hundreds of cars to look at.

The Corral fee must be collected in advance. Please send the $45 fee to John Carter at 16173 SW Dekalb St.,Portland,OR 97224. I have to send all of the money in together before the June 1 deadline so send it to me at least several days before that . If you have any questions please call me at 503-579-6599.

So let’s get those cars out and gather for some fun at the races. We need the Austin Healey marque represented. Last year there were more MG’s than Healeys!
