Austin-Healey Memories Author: Wagner, B Covers: In 1958, while volunteering as a corner worker at Road America, I met a few older gentlemen racing what were Bob Wagner Mequon, Wisconsin WISCONSIN CHAPTER then considered “vintage” cars. Some had converted streetcars, others had dedicated racecars, but all were track-ready. The rules back then were relaxed, the community tight-knit – almost like family. Not many of those early racers are around anymore, but the spirit they shared stuck with me. Marque

Author: Davies, P Covers: As some of you might be aware, three of our club members recently trailered their cars to Folsom, California. There they joined up with 11 other cars and went on a Sierra Passes Tour which was led by David Nock of the Golden Gate Austin-Healey Club. David does this drive each year and it was worth the extra effort to participate. The scenery, the fellow Healey owners and the drive itself are fantastic. Healey folks are just wonderful people.

Is my capacitor incapacated? Author: Young, B Covers: Although we call this component a “condenser,” it is actually a capacitor. Capacitance is one of the fundamental principles of electricity along with Electromotive Force (EMF)(Voltage), Current (Ampere), Resistance (Ohm), and Inductance (Henry). Capacitance was discovered in the 1740’s with the invention of the Leyden jar, an early form of a capacitor for storing electric charge. It was described as “condensing” the electrical charge within it, leading to the name “condenser” for devices that performed a similar function. Our friends Benjamin Franklin and Michael Faraday expanded the understanding of how to store this charge. Franklin worked with parallel flat plates for storing electricity, while Faraday developed designs using dielectric materials to increase the amount of charge. Marque

Sprite Redux Author: Nikas, J Covers: Despite its current status as a modern design icon, the Sprite’s controversial aesthetics and limited practicality proved a hindrance when deteriorating financial conditions in the vehicle’s main markets led to a precipitous decline in sales. Hoping to reverse the trend, BMC made plans for a replacement with more conventional styling and traditional access to the boot in the hope that the proposed changes could stem the decline. Marque
