Hot Rod Drags (UK)

["Robert (UK)" <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Well after 5 years of having the only 63 Dodge on the road in the UK, 
we've now been joined a by another that was imported about 9 months 
after ours, and has since undergone a thorough restoration, and 
conversion to Max Wedge spec (surprise surprise!)
We (my brother & I) saw the car back in 2005 before any work had been 
done and it was a tidy looking 383 car with power windows and the later 
slotted cop wheels. The owner thought about selling it as it was, but 
decided to keep it and go the MW route with the resto.
The car is located in Yorkshire, about 200 miles north of where we live 
(ie a lot for us limeys!) so we only got to see the car last weekend 
when we were both at the 'Hot Rod Drags' over at Shakespeare County 
Raceway near Stratford Upon Avon.

See links below for some pics from that meet:

And a thread on the H.A.M.B forum, where the event seems to have gone 
down well:
