The famous Panic! altered campaigned by the Page brothers.
This shot shows the car at Long Marston probably with Gary Page at the controls.

 

 

 

 

A perfect example of how varied the competition could be in the Pro Comp class.  This picture shows the late Alan Ritmeisters driving his Orpheus dragster with the Hazelton brothers' Thunderbird blown altered trailing at the top end at Snetterton.

 

 

A much better image of Thunderbird also taken at the top end at Snetterton.

 

Pro Street rider Nigel Patrick burning out and launching at Long Marston.

 

 

 

Three great shots of Terry Revill shaking down his The Assassin double-engined Kawasaki gas bike at Santa Pod.

 

Rod Pallant aboard one of his LA Hooker top fuel motorcycles at Long Marston.
Kelvin recalls that Rod's crewman in the left hand shot was called John.  That is Bob Beckwith riding Tenafly in the shot on the right. I wonder if that is John Clift on Co-Respondent in the foreground below?

 

 

 

Dave Branch's 1868cc MGB-engined Special Branch is receiving some serious attention between rounds.

 

 

Stuart Fearnside leaving the line at Long Marston.

 

 

Torrential Sunshine!
Ian Barker, the chief mechanic for Terry Bell's Triumph-powered American Dream, made everyone laugh as he put up the umbrella to keep off the torrential sunshine.
You can see a group of racers having a good laugh in the background.

This picture was taken at Snetterton after the meeting had been called off because of rain believe it or not!

 

No less an authority than Brian Johnson has been in touch to identify this machine.
It is the ex-Jack O'Mally Orient Express funny bike which was owned by Steve Tong when this picture was taken.
Brian should know - he painted it in that green and white colour scheme!

 

 

 


Everyone tends to remember Brian Johnson for his incredible performances on his Imperial Wizard Top Fuel bike.
Well, before that he was a class act on this earlier Imperial Wizard which dominated the Pro Street class.
What an absolute beauty!


 

The late Jim Read is standing on the extreme right of the shot on the left.
