July 19 - BBQ at the Morrisons
There was a good turnout for the BBQ/Pool Party at John and Gloria Morrisons on Saturday. Outside temperature
was high so shade provided a magnet for the attendees...there were no takers for jumping into the pool.
Burgers and brats followed a round of hor d'oeuvres at poolside. Host John Morrison provided the technical
skills of grilling (see below).
Due to lack of enthusiasm at the last general meeting for making this a potluck get-together, Ann and Doug
Lewis and Gloria Morrison picked up the deli-food and meat with the BAHC to pick up the tab. Peggy Hartt brought her famous
deviled eggs that were the first to disappear from the hor d'oeuvres table.
Attendees included Allen Brown, Paul Evans, Grant Fairbanks, Lance Fairbanks,
Jon Hanson, Marc Henderson (and friend), Ann Henderson, Doug and Ann Lewis, Joe and Lora Morely, John and Gloria Morrison,
Ginger Goyzueta (John and Gloria's daughter), Jim and Sheryl Thornton, Mike and Laurel Gygi, Dill and Dianne Strasser, and
Peggy and Terry Hartt.
Thanks to John and Gloria Morrison for hosting this event and Doug
and Ann Lewis, Gloria Morrison, and Peggy Hartt for taking care of the other essentials (i.e. the food!).

Miller Motorsports Park/SCCA May 24
The commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the AH Sprite (to the week,
no less) came off without a hitch at the MMP facility in Tooele on saturday. We lucked out on the weather (no rain) although
it was windy most of the day. The SCCA Nationals were being held on the same day so it was most appropriate that the BAHC accept
the generous invitation of the MMP to bring our cars out on that day.
Four Bugeye Sprites, a Sprite MKII and five Big Healeys were joined by a
Jensen Healey and an MG Midget...not bad for such short notice!
A pace car took us around the track a couple of times which was great fun if not a tad slow (in the author's
opinion).
After the parade laps, we had lunch in the clubhouse. The clubhouse is all glass on the track side so we
had a great view of the SCCA races during lunch. After lunch, we toured the Car Museum which is pretty much just a showcase
of Larry Miller's extensive Cobra collection.
It was at this point in the afternoon that we went our separate ways.
Thanks to all who who made this event a success ... I am talking specifically of those who, in spite of
the short notice and expected bad weather, still made it out to the MMP with their cars!
