Absolutely right Jon. Even me personally wouldn't have thought the day possible but its happening this weekend.

From the original release:

You wouldn’t automatically relate southern England with a piece of drag racing history – particularly a vehicle that those in America (the home of drag racing) see as the key to globalising the sport. But since the 1980s the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu has been the home of Sydney Allard’s part-restored 1961 Allard Chrysler – Europe’s first dragster that last ran in anger at Blackbushe, Surrey in 1964 and at Long Marston Aerodrome in 1962 for the Evesham Automobile Club’s National High Speed Trials when the latter was a regular venue for sprinting.

Driven by the founding father of Allard Cars, Sydney Allard the dragster competed against lesser powerful 1500cc racing cars entered in its class as well as another Chrysler powered dragster of Brian Whitty. Sadly no records of the event have been kept so it is unclear of the sort of times the Allard was running over the half and quarter mile courses.

With this year’s cancellation of the Brighton Speed Trials the restoration has particular significance. Madeira Drive is known by Americans as the oldest drag strip in the world and Sydney Allard drove this dragster at the event in 1961, ’62 and ’63. He became known as the Father of British Drag racing.

Junior Olley is expected to be bringing his Jet Truck Dakota Thunder to the Nationals this weekend. Powered by a Wesinghouse J34, Junior will be looking to make some three quarter passes in preparation for some licencing runs in the near future at Shakespeare County after his last appearance at the track two weeks ago when a faulty fuel system prevented the truck from running. The truck has already run some impressive 6 second passes at 250 mph at Bandimere Speedway, Colorado several years ago.

Round 4 of the 2013 Outlaw Anglia series features 14 teams entered for the Nostalgia Nationals. Although defending champion Cliff Griffin has a comfortable points lead over Colin Millar following the Super Pull round a couple of weeks ago you can be sure of some great entertainment at Shakey from the likes of Steve Wells, Ginner, Spencer Tidswell and the one they call the Professor Mr Al O’Connor to name just a few. Last time out both Cliff Griffin and Colin Millar were firmly locked into the high sevens when it counted. So what can they do this weekend and one of the biggest meets on the calendar to date! Find out this weekend at the 20th anniversary NSRA Nostalgia Nationals.
