Couple of books that might interest those who enjoy British drag racing, especially those “of a certain age”.  Roll Eyes

The motorcycle book (currently £9.29 from Amazon delivered) has lots of very clear pics, which can evoke sentences beginning “I remember.........”  along with some text info from people who were there.

The car book is due out early Feb I think, mine's on pre-order (at £11.49 delivered).

There's nowt as light as a hole, so add lightness.

Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

The car book has arrived today after a series of delays.

Again, lots of fantastic photos from around 1960 up to 1969, and quite a lot of text info too.

If you went to drags 'way back', then I reckon you'll have a pretty good trip down memory lane with this....... well worth getting hold off in my opinion.   Wink
