VINTAGE DRAG RACING PICCIES.

Drag racing’s been popular in Britain for some 30 or 40 years now & has grown from it’s humble beginnings, aping the Americans with budget, shed-built machines bouncing & skittering over crumbling ex wartime airstrips, into a professional sport with strict guidelines & big money sponsorships. It’s loud, fast & spectacular, but sometimes it’s nice to look back & remember those early days. Long Marston, BlackBushe, the Pod, York raceway, Snetterton, Wroughton -got any fading photos tucked away in a drawer somewhere or pinned on your workshop wall? Scan them & send ‘em in & we’ll showcase them here.
Many thanks to Triker Pete, Brock & John for their contributions.
