What a guy, what a drag racer, putting the fans, crew and car before his personal problems.

Do you have an update Stu - was worrying to see him getting in the ambulance

I called today to see how Rich is getting on. He's still in hospital with a slight infection on a antibiotic drip and comfortable. Should be home in a couple of days.

Nice touch to see that James Forster on Eurodragster has thanked Jon for all the publicity this site has generated for Dragstalgia.

Very happy with that

a few shots from a great week end...sorry to hear about Rich, hope everything turns out ok

I thought I would spend a hour or two looking through my images and try to pick out a few of my favorite cars/bikes/races from the meeting but this has proved impossible as there were so many things I loved so here are around 20 odd for now.

Driver of the weekend by none Nick Davies. The beast and by cropping the image and looking a little harder with reviews what the drive thought of it. Maybe Clive should re-name the car New British Drag Racing HoF member and legend Russ Carpenter showing he still has it. Herb Andrews tells me this is his old car This is what I call a drag bike. Fantastic to see Jeff Byne again. Some of the heavy hitters starting with Ramon Joe Bond One of the races of the weekend was between these two, Loved this And this.. And this.... Love that dress, and Kirsten wink: Andy Raw needs more track time to iron out the bugs Amazing It wasn't a dream was it? No it really happened.

That Pick up could be yours Jon. 45K

Stunning pictures as usual from Jon.

Yes I'll second that Stu. Great looking trophy as well.

3rd that Jon mate , you the man and thanks for the great prints
