Found one mention of it on the acceleration archives that mentioned Nick Pettitt who runs http://www.timetraveldvds.co.uk/index.html and is somewhat of an authority on UK drag racing. Might be worth a look through his site or even contacting him.

The same car is pictured in this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=20&...

Looks like he later went circuit racing: http://www.specialsaloons.co.uk/barc-modsports-74/...

I knew Chris as he was a neighbour of mine and helped him put together a Lotus 7 in 1970, before he got the TVR Griffith. He was one of the people who got me interested in motorsport. Unfortunately Chris was involved in an accident whilst testing when he was involved in circuit racing, "circa 1973" and died as a result of the injuries he received.
