- I put street tires on my 1098 Austin Healey Sprite race car and took it out to the Greenwood Roadway to drive a few laps around the track during the Greenwood Revival in 2013.

Must have been an amazing track in its day! Looks like a dangerous run now.
Thanks for uploading! It's great to see a 'lap' of the circuit, which must have been something special in its heyday.
That’s a great view of the track.
Nice to see so many beautiful British cars on display too
Looks like it has the makings of a perfect rally stage!
Ohhhhh... That was VERY NICE --Thanks Steve for putting a Smile on my face.
That A-series motor revs clean.
A great run around the track Steve.
Reminds me of the roads in western NY.
So rad!
I was there w my 66 mustang and my dad was there w his 68 trilingual mustang. It was awesome driving the track. Have the poster up right here in my shop. Found a booklet on a scca race there at the swap meet in cedar rapids.
How cool is that!
This was 10 years ago? Yikes. Braver man than I, seems a lot like rally racing not road racing! I appreciate your Sprite, my dad raced a mk2 sprite all during the 60s and 70s, he bought it cheap from a dealer he worked for when some guy brought it in and left it rather than pay the repair bill. Dad bought it from his employer, stripped, added a roll cage, painted it blue and raced it for almost 20 years. Unfortunately, the only part I have of that car are the doors. He built a Bugeye race car in the early 80s that I have, still trying to restore it.
I put stock wheels with street tires on it to be able to drive it around the course, it would not have worked with the race tires.
The Sprite is a better camera platform than that Cobra in the other video!
The Sprite video was shot many years after the Cobra video. In the Cobra video GoPros were not a thing yet and I was filming with a camcorder mounted to the car.
As a Midget owner, how could I not like this? Great drive!
Looked like fun, even tho some of those potholes looked like "offroad", lol! Nice ride tho!! Thanx !
Where’s your helmet young man? 👮♀️
Lol !
Could have been the USA’s Nurburgring!
More like a rally stage than a race track. lol
So, does all that earth moving equipment mean someone's bankrolling a comeback for Greenwood?
No the union trains it’s operators on that equipment there. They will not replace the asphalt of the track though :shrug:
What are the specs of this specific engine?
It was an old G-Production race car I bought non-running. Logbook said it was a 2.53" Bore and 3.30" Stroke 1098. The you can see the car running with CVAR now in Texas and Oklahoma.
Little off road rallying
That track is 100% sketchy!
Well not bad for fifty year old asphalt.
