Sept 21, 2024 Northern Drive
Attendees: Henry Morrison, Keith Mott, Dennis and Cay Walkingshaw, Pete and Victoria Davies
Dennis Walkingshaw led the tour from the south which met up at I-80 and State Hwy 65 in Parley’s Canyon. There were only two cars, Henry Morrison and Dennis, that showed up at 9:30 am and so they started up Hwy 65 north through the mountains towards Morgan. The morning was brisk but skies were clear and filled with sunshine. Perfect for our Healeys as we all know how they like the cooler weather. Read the full account on the Recent Events page.

The 1st Annual Snow Basin Car show this past Sunday August 4th was quite a success. The gathering of the cars started at 10am and with coffee and donuts provided. Once we were in our groups were were staged in the lawn area. There were four groups. Modern, Classic, Trucks & SUV , and Motorcycles.  The coordinator is a fan of British cars and had more applied we would have been given our own group but as it turned out there were only 3 of us that applied and were all accepted.

July 17, 2024 Sharon’s Birthday TSD Rally
Sharon’s Birthday Rally turned out to be a fun day for all. We had 20 cars take place in the rally which started at Rotary Glen Park just to the east of Hogle Zoo at the entrance to Emigration Canyon. Everyone assembled in the parking lot and donuts were provided by Dil Strasser. once everyone was registered Henry gave us a briefing on the “Richta ” app. We were each issued a car number and at precisely 9am the first car left the parking lot, thereafter another one left at 1 minute intervals. The weather was clear and it stated to warm up right away. The first 10 miles of the rally weren’t timed as it was an odometer check.  The timed portion started as we turned left and headed north on route 65 towards East Canyon Reservoir.

July 6, 2024 Tech Session
Attendees: Jim Thornton, Don Hughes, Larry Jensen, Pete Davies, Glen Schimmelpfennig, Bo Hall, Don Coleman
Another successful Tech Session: Jim Thornton’s black Healey is back on the road! We started working at 10am and there were 7 members that showed up to partake in Saturdays work fest. Everything went as planned except for one mishap that put us back a couple of hours. We ended up only changing the clutch slave cylinder and flex hose. Jim had found some rubber bits laying on the floor of his shop and thought they were from the slave cylinder dust seal. Our first order of business was to inspected the hydraulic system but we didn’t find any signs of leaks. So Don Hughes and I jacked up the car and proceeded to remove the seats, carpet and transmission cover. The factory installed rust preventative system was working well as there was quite a bit of oil under the car and around the slave cylinder area. It was determined that the rubber pieces were from the dust cover on the clutch actuating lever. Since we were this far into the project we decided to change out the slave cylinder anyway.

We had beautiful sunny warm weather and three members chose to drive their Healey’s along with one MG. There were plenty of helping hands and discussions but ultimately we accomplished our goal and another car is back on the road. So far the club has a 100% success rate of repair and making cars road worthy. Let’s keep up the good work! Thank you to Bo and Sue Hall for hosting the get together. Coffee, bagels with cream cheese, a breakfast cake and other assorted goodies helped everyone keep focused as we attacked Bo’s BJ8 Healey. Read the full report on the Recent Events page.

March 24, 2024, Tech Session
Attendees: Darin Graber, Dennis Walkingshaw, Bo Hall, Glen Schimmelpfennig, Pete Davies and Tony Duffin
Today started off with 2 inches of fresh snow on the ground as well as rain at the lower elevations. I thought that maybe we wouldn’t get much of a turnout for the tech session, but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the bad weather we had six members show up to help Darin get his car ready for the driving season. Members are really coming together to help one another and to me that is a sign of the continuing commitment to growth and good health of the club. Read the full report on the Recent Events page.

February 10 Tech Session Saturday’s tech session at Henry’s shop was a great day. We had a good turnout of members and everyone took part in one way or another, either on Don’s doors or on Dil’s Jaguar that had developed a coolant leak. We started off with coffee and donuts which were supplied by Don Hughes, thanks Don. We got set up in the shop and then proceeded to start working on the doors that Don brought along. The goal was to make one good door out of the two. Work started with a discussion of what was the best way to remove the sheet metal from both doors and a plan was formulated. Dave Maxwell had plenty of experience in this area as he had done quite a bit of body work in the past and his input was very much appreciated, thanks Dave. Part of the inner shell was removed from both doors and some rust was cut out of the second door skin. This took longer that expected as we had trouble opening up the seams.Once the metal was separated the rust was removed. After a few hours it was determined that the metal was to far gone for repair as there was considerable rust and distortion. We discussed the problem and decided that the best way to proceed was to replace the bad metal with new patch panels. So Don is going to order an outer and an inner door patch panel. Once these come in we will get together again and repair the door. Read the full report on the Recent Events page!

Christmas Party
The Christmas party was a great success and if you weren’t there you missed a wonderful time filled with camaraderie, laughter and cheer. Hope you can make it next year. The party started at 5:30 and almost everyone arrived at the same time, there were seventeen of us in attendance. Henry stepped behind the bar and we were served our favorite beverage. The conversations started and pretty soon everyone was telling stories. Discussing things about the past year, what we had done both to and with our cars and significant other. Holiday cheer and merriment were in abundance. Chris and Henry had done a beautiful job setting a very festive table and decorating their home for the Christmas season.

After about an hour we all sat down to dinner, wow, it was great. Larry Jensen had offered to supply the meat and he smoked a beautiful prime rib roast. It was done to perfection and was without a doubt the best prime rib we ever tasted. Everyone told Larry how good it was, fantastic job Larry! We sat down to dinner and it got quiet as we consumed a fabulous meal of prime rib, potatoes, salad, enchiladas, rolls and a glass of red wine. The main course was followed up by desert which consisted of an apple pie and a cherry pie that was home made by Victoria Davies, yummy! Read the full report on the Recent Events page!
