From memory Jon, some 9 of the funny car pictures were mine, plus all of the bike feature, and DLT piece.
A lot of the writing was mine as well in Speed and Power pieces.
I think the Dennis Priddle feature I did was my favourite, after they gave me a little advice. There were about 10 pictures used in my article - and they all came from 1 roll of film! That is what you call economical shooting.
Thanks Keith.
Thats strange because I was going to ask you about how many rolls you would shoot per meeting?
Of course now we have the luxury of clicking away just to try and get one decent one/

I don't know what national daily this came from other than it was an e-bay purchase sometime ago. Its a bit tongue in cheek really but I guess whatever the sport in publicity in the early seventies was better than nothing at all in today's football nominated world.

This appeared in the 1993 edition of the Peugeot Times about former Avon Park Chief Starter Steve Hill.

Does anyone remember the gossip newspaper New Reveille from the seventies? Well this came from I think a 1972 centre page spread about Roz Prior - The Fast Lady of Drag. Its a shame I can't scan the whole page. And who would have thought Stu Bradbury appeared in New Reveille?

I'm not sure where this came from other than it might have been from a DTV promotional newspaper all about Liam's dad.

While rooting through a pile of old copies of Motoring News at Race Retro last weekend I came across this article about Clive Skilton's 1973 import with accounts from the test meets Clive ran the car at Orange County and a week later at the postponed Winternationals at Pomona. The Revolution 4 dragster, purchased from [Mike] Kuhl & [Carl] Olson was, as we know, transformed into the Castrol GTX Dragster and later became Liz Burn's Lizard.

Not sure of the year (1986/87) pages from the German edition of Chromes & Flames and the Cannonball Classic written by Andy Willsheer. Can anyone read German?
