Being the elder statesman of the Outlaws gives me certain privileges, like having my own mechanic on call 24/7. He bought me tea after as well.
Gary getting set for his second run. I still think it's twisting to much on launch. He'd be quicker if he could cure that.
Gary again but this was his first run. I've got the pictures round the wrong way.
A new GT40. It looks gorgeous.
Now this was unusual. A Hunter estate with a V8. Look at the exhaust strapped to the front. How does that pass an MOT. It followed us home down the M1 so must be fairly local to me.
One of the few American cars I saw.
This suits it better. What an engine. Don't know what it was but it's big and has nitros. I didn't see it run unfortunately.
I forgot to get the blokes name but this has a Rover V8, turbo, fuel and water injection and did a 12.7 run. Very nice!
Spot would be quicker if he got a normal GT. Only joking his first run was a 15.8 I think.
A close-up. This shell hasn't been welded. He found it by mistake really. He went to look at another car but it was gone when he got there, but he was offered this instead. Bargin I'd say.
There wasn't many hot rods about or Yankee cars come to that. I'm just getting to old as the new ones do nothing for me.
What kind of nutter wants to strap themselves to a go-kart and do an 11 second run. Well this bloke did.
Now I'm a Vauxhall man through and through, but you just can't help loving this. The shape is wonderful and the colour really suits it.
