A couple of Scandinavian Vettes to identify if you can?


Pictures: Steve Hope

The Beckers Production Vette is Jan Johansson's and in the programme for the Sept '75 Snetterton Internats there's a listing for a Chevy called Pink Panther driven by someone with the brilliant name of Johnny Gasfoot which I recon must be the one........ I know both these Vettes were at that meeting as Marty Babb captured them both with his cine camera

I didn't think you're get them Nick because when I watched TT74 with marty's great footage you didn't name the pink Vette

Very high bodywork on Tobjorn Gustafsson's PC altered, at Easter 1980 he ran the car as low as a 7.97

At a time when TF wasn't in the best shape in Europe it was really exciting to see this come out the trailer.
August 1988 and Liv Berdstad comes out in Rune Fjeld's newly acquired dragster which was a early 88 built. model.
Liv had already done a few shakdown passess in Sweden and on Sunday run the car to a 5.72@224.
Note the funnycar headers.

Bizarrely my first thought on seeing that was "I remember that Fire Engine!" - The Pod must have got through a few of those in it's time (that could be a whole new thread - track support vehicles. We've already had the track driers)

Never noticed the Funny Car headers on that car before - was it a one meeting thing as that is what they had or was there another reason?

Ashphalt Alleygator used FC header's when Bill Sherratt drove the car

Wasn't that when the Alleygator was carrying TNT sponsorship?
