Showing more dedication than common sense, vintage racer and contributing writer John Nikas will try to avoid catastrophic fire while leaking oil and shedding parts as he drives a borrowed Austin-Healey 100 from Newport Beach, California, to Charleston, South Carolina, and then back to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in time for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. The drive will be made in support of Stand Up 2 Cancer and pledges of a penny a mile are requested for one or both segments of the trip. Donations and pledges can be sent to www.standup2cancer.org/custom/?c=team&id=5179 and are tax deductible.
