this has been going for just a couple of months, last month on a cold evening they had 100+ cars turn up. music during the evening and this month there'll be the trunk junk so anything you wish to get rid of take it along.

Not heard of that one Dave, even though it's local to me. Who's organising that? What sort of cars are we talking here?
There was recent talk of restarting the drag races there that I remember from my youth. Anything to do with this meet?

Ooooohhhhh...... sounds interesting. Dave - do you have a link to the webpage in the poster (dragfest.co.uk) as i can't seem to find it? The re-union advert for the event is a clever take on the 1965 2nd International Dragfest programme which back in 1965 was 2/6 or half a crown  (that's 12 and half new pence to the decimal generation!!  ) Think the first Blackbushe drags I went to was 1971, and I bought the number one issue of National Drag Racer, which had the programme for day inside of it (and I still have them) The poster/advert MM has in the previous post is for that actual meeting. |
