Wouldn't it be great if someone was to reproduce these again in a limited number and on the same paper as back in the day!Now that's an interesting question jaytee. 
I can hear those programmes and report pages talking already. So when was the first Skilton v Priddle match up in Funny Car then?

Did they meet many times in funny cars?
I seem to recall a few match ups with the VX4/90 bodied funny and Dennis' Avenger in the mid seventies at some NDRC meets at Blackbushe and maybe Wroughton as the headlining act.

These were taken at Wroughton mid seventies.
