or just get the body back it's original paint scheme and lose that crappy scoop, the 1st time Schumacher and Murphy did their burnouts was the most amazing sight I'd seen

I'm told that they plan to get the body back to it's original colour scheme.
Not sure about the rest :?

wasn't there talk sometime ago about Don Schumacher looking to buy the car to restore it, not sure if there was any truth in it, I don't think he has any of his old race cars unlike Force and Prudhomme

I can confirm that Don would love to buy it but Keith wants it to stay in the UK as part of our history. I hope they can restore it to 1973 trim. It would not take much to get it into show condition and only a little bit more for it to cackle.

He wrote to me John asking about the car and I made calls and no he doesn't have any of his original Stardust cars.

At last this great show was blessed with great weather. Ive been to all 3 so far and each year it gets better and i have to agree with the rest that this will probably be the best in the UK.

A well done to all involved in putting the show on.

I managed to snap a few photos over the weekend aswell, These are a few of my favourites

It was great to see owners of this one got it to the track and look forward to seeing it more in the future.

Thanks for sharing them. Maybe something can be down with the press (including myself) next year when the flame burnouts are taking place so people can see better.

I really hope this NFC class grows, it would be a great attraction and a crowd favorite.

What the NFAA lacked in numbers they made up for in quality.
Both teams put on a fantastic show which included a side by side race on Saturday that had the crowd going wild
