OMG.. Some nostalgia here. Several pics of cars I bought in from the States in the early 80’s.
They were good times.

I had a few Mopar USA videos and they were great, not from Jim though. I think I bought them from a guy in Scotland...I seem to remember him saying he had cancer when we spoke on the phone and was unwell. Probably a member from the old forum?


I have seen some US Nat's videos by Americans that I ...

I made regular videos of the US Mopar Nationals in the 1990’s and put them all on YouTube.
I walked around the Nats with my video camera talking about the cars and to some of the owners.
I also filmed the fun and games in Brice Road in the evenings.. Enjoy.

More memories of the Funny Cars at Santa Pod in ‘73….
These were the first Funny Cars to arrive in the UK, and everyone wanted them to run side by side. Paula Murphy wasn’t keen on the idea though.. (Don Schumacher was a nutter, he would get on it no matter what). They did pair up just once but ...

Prior to the arrival of the two Funny Cars in 1973. Bob Phelps sponsored Dennis ‘Stormin’ Norman’s twin engine Triumph and the ‘Pegasus’ Vincent boys to compete at the 1970 US Nationals at Indianapolis.

The track owner, Bob Phelps, had to ask him to take as long as he likes and make a show of it… UK fans had never seen ...

I was there when their cars arrived at Santa Pod. Stardust had Pan Am Air Freight shipping documents still on the car.
Don Schumacher and Paula Murphy put on a fantastic show.

Does anyone on here remember this car....

During the 1970's I worked with Pete.
One evening in 1979 driving a 1972 Dodge Challenger he took out a tall lamppost on the A40 Western Avenue near Ruislip with the car ending up on its roof totally destroyed. We brought the wreck back to his place and ...
