I have been rifling through the un-published shots in my collection and have decided that there are a few more which I can inflict upon you.

'Big Daddy' Don Garlits
Don Garlits is a legend in US drag racing and he made two trips to the UK during the 1970s.  This gallery contains a selection of previously un-published pictures taken on both occasions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allan 'Bootsie' Herridge
Bootsie drove the evil-handling Firefly slingshot dragster before moving on to the rear-engined Asphalt Alleygator.  You will see his characteristically enthusiastic driving style in some of these pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter Crane
Peter Crane drove his Stormbringer top fuel dragster into the history books by being the first man outside the USA to run a five second time.  If that were not enough, he did it whilst putting none other than 'Big Daddy' himself out of the competition!
