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!
