The team of
Terry Revill and Mark Newby bought the ex-Dennis Priddle Page brothers Chevy
Monza funny car from Bob Jarrett. The picture on the left shows Terry Revill in
the smart Duckhams jacket (Duckhams were Terry's sponsors of his Assassin bikes)
with Gary Page (Terry's brother-in-law) leaning over wearing the Showtime funny
car cap. |

. . . this Chevy Beretta funny car which featured a
state of the art Plueger chassis and Waterman Red Pump fuel system. You can see
the original artwork for the paint scheme by Mark Gredzinski by clicking here and with the alternative scheme by clicking here. |

Santa Pod organised a fancy dress competition for pit crew which was won by the gent in the stockings and suspenders who crewed for Dick Talbot. Apparently he liked it so much he kept it on when they all went down to the pub later. If anyone would like to own up to being in the picture on the left I will happily publish their names. |

As soon as I saw
these pictures I knew where they had been taken - at the top end at Snetterton.
The reason being I had sneaked up there myself on one occasion and tried to get
some high speed shots, needless to say they weren't a patch on
these.

These two pictures were taken at Avon Park (now Shakespeare County Raceway) and show Eamon Hurley on his unique Wankel rotary-engined Concorde Top Fuel bike. The picture on the left has already been published in black and white form on page 3 but it is just too good not to include it again. |

USAF serviceman Terry Bell's American Dream is almost certainly the only drag bike ever to have been sponsored by Tonibell Ice Cream! |

Kelvin recalls "The guy in the foreground was the owner of Moon City Charger at the time of the photo, a USAF serviceman, and a friend of fellow countryman Terry Bell. His name was Casper, but I dont remember his surname. The car never got used much in anger as I recall. This particular meeting at Snetterton was called off because of rain. You can see the puddle. The RAF station nearby forecast more rain, so NDRC called a rain-off, then the sun came out for rest of day, the racing could have gone ahead!" |

And finally - a young Kelvin Fagan riding what must have been the slowest two-wheeled vehicle at Snetterton by a considerable margin! |
