The Hot Rod Drags (U.K.), my pics

I was only there for Sunday but what a day!!!! A couple of oil downs halted play for a while but there was plenty to see away from the track.Big thanks to the NSRA for staging such a great event and a very special cheers me dears to Keith for allowing me access to the control tower.

Enjoy.

 

Thanks Russ I'll try and get mine posted later, good to me you at last however fleeting it was. Sad state Rubellion was in.

 

Thank you very much. Roarin Rat's bringing back some memories.

What's that little coupe with Dodge Red Ram valve cover?

 

Awesome pics!! Thanks!! Looks like a good day!

 

That,s all for now.

 

Awwww John! How lame was that howdy doody! Catch you later and better soon.

 

WOH I really need to make it over to that sometime.

 

Nice picks.
I had a great weekend even if I did get beat by a 4 banger in the meltdown.
Must buy some speed equipment now

 

That's Rubellion.....Austin Ruby, used to have a blown V8 and a frame that flexed up and down as the driver came on and off the throttle and would lift one front wheel as the frame twisted due to the torque. Built by Pip Bibblecome in the 70's It always has been a favorite of mine and I still want it. I actually quite like the state it's in but it's a real shame it's lost it's 8 pot and blower. Anyone know anymore about it now and who owns it.

 

What was the best time for Jim and his blown roadster roadster????

 

I think Jim was in the 12's

 

No ****, I thought that's what it was, I knew it, something familiar about that car. I'm glad it's still alive but man it looks like it's been through hell. It had a supercharged Daimler Hemi in it, right?

Is Pip Biddlecombe still building stuff?

Somone needs to do a book on UK hot rod and custom history, I'd buy a copy.

 

Yea it was a great day n the weather was spot on............

 

wow great pics.
I have to go there next year

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

A big WELL DONE to Jim for having the oficially fastest flathead powerred car in the U.K. In the 12,s at a shade over 130mph. On crossplies. Cool!

This little old motor is seriously hauling ***.

 

Is that a homemade intake? It's wild.

 

No Idea if Pip is still building stuff but Rubellion did have a blown Daimler...and I think Jim did make his own intake....

 

Mine.......

 

Who owns "Anxious"? Say hi to mate Keith Harman! Keith's headed stateside for the CHRR event in a couple of weeks.

Absolutely BAD ***!!

I think that four door VW looking thing is my favorite...

I'm pretty sure that's a Renault Dauphane (sp?). VW running gear though, judging by the wheels and exaust. *****in'.

I'm bummed I missed the meet though, was hoping it was a week or two later as I just got back from a trip to the states (saw a nice Shoebox though, so it's not all bad).
