Just spent an enjoyable day at the North Weald RWYB meeting. There was probably the most varied line-up of cars and bikes that I've seen at a drag race meeting. There was a fair number of cars built specially for the strip but rarely make it to any of the mainstream meetings. There was a good selection of street rods, plus a few old British sprint and drag bikes such as Nortons and Rudges.
The icing on the cake for me though was wandering through the trade stands and coming across a guy selling a few old 1960's programmes mainly from the circuits, but I managed to buy a July 1964 Sprint programme from Podington Airfield. Among the entries were John Lloyd, Ian Ashwell and Dave Lecoq who turned to drag racing, and most of the well known sprinters of the time such as George Brown. BTW, the programme cost me just £1.50.
