On Sunday 20th September 1964 my fiancé and I went to RAF Chelveston Airfield near Wellingborough, Northamptonshire to watch the 1st British International Drag Racing Festival [sponsored by The People newspaper.

I still cherish the Official Programme {cost 2/6] which is autographed by Tommy Ivo [Showboat]; Tony Nancy [The Wedge] Don Garlits [The Swamp Rat] The Programme is in mint condition and so are the admission tickets[No: 104 and 105 cost 10/- and the car park ticket No 25 cost 5/-]
