Hi thanks for the great photos of my Dodge Dart it was only the second time the car has been out with this engine set up not quite sure were the sub 10 second pass came from hasn't been down the strip yet but hope to get low 10s look forward to seeing you again I love these small local meets cheers Gibbo
Hello Gibbo, and welcome to the world that is Manky. Just had a word with my informant on the day, and either he did say something about a 10 second run then which he doesn't say now (see how I've subtlety shifted the blame...) OR its my memory..............  which has happened before (I think). What's your first event gonna be, a Break What Ya Built Run What Ya Brung or a Test N tune maybe? |

Think I went to the Blackbushe drags (as a wee nipper of a spectator) about 8 times. Never been the same since........ Blackbushe also had the UK's first '2CV Cross' event which I went along to watch, great entertainment! Great pic of the various Allards..... drooooollllll |

There was a big web site advertising car cruise every last Saturday of the month at Blackbush £5.00 per car plus run wot you brung action driffting and other attractions seemed to be going ahead but they didnt have planning permission for the drag racing just would have been to convenient if you search for Blackbush car cruise should find it but I am not sure what is happening now.I think Odium air field are doing something again this spring so will take the car there anyway see you out and about soon.

That can't be you Chris -that young fella's got hair!  I thought the person next to you in that shot had one hand covering their ear & the other holding a mobile phone -then I realised they hadn't been invented back then! |
