Cliff Watts has kindly sent me some great pictures from the 1964 drag fests.
RAF Kemble 1964
K.S.Pittman's Hemi powered Willys
Ronnie Sox's Mercury Comet
Tony Nancy smokes the Wedge to its best time of the Festival with an 8.98/176
Blackbushe 1964
Dos Palmos Pit Shot
Tony Nancy's rear engined 8 litre Plymouth.
Jim Gavin's Renault Dauphine which had a 1650cc Ford engine stuffed in the back mated to the Dauphine gearbox. It ran 16 second ETs. Next door is Peter Bartlett's '57 Chevy which was used to push start some of the American dragsters and had a plank of wood mounted on the front bumper
