Discussion
Cool not seen those before.......here's just a few more pics that I have from days gone by, thought you might like......sorry for the poor quality on some pics.
Early shot when it was the Red Baron
Hot Metal
and finally, 2 of the 1969 Cuda.....1 early shot with small slicks, then after it was back halved
and here's a cool pic of my old mate Graham Barrs in the Pinto, I'm sure some of you will remember it....

Sorry - no pictures, but I went to the Pod shortly after it opened and long before any alcohol fuelled 'Rails' arrived.
Memories were lots of home made hot rods ie. A Jaguar engined Ford Pop, as well as stock stuff entered by the American airman that were stationed over here. I was very impressed with a 427 Charger.
Other things that I saw were the odd Allard with small 1500cc Ford crossflow engine power, an early Marcos Gullwing which visibly twisted out of shape when the driver dropped the clutch. I also remember a guy with a handlebar moustache and flat hat who had a Cobra, and in the eliminations a Triumph 650cc bike engined go kart which was ridiculously fast. The fastest bikes were generally Vincent 1000s ridden home later.
Those were the days.
