I was at the finals in 1976 and 1977; we were about to leave England and had our going away BBQ that day so we watched this on television. The moment we saw Barry Lee was on the pole, my mom said we might as well leave for the BBQ. She was right.
ill second that pal,those were the the best days of hot rodding by a mile,the days before those nasty little "hybrid toyotas,pugs etc began to appear,and with them less exiting racing!i count myself very lucky to have been around at many of the meetings to see it all live!,we will never see the likes again thats for sure!. ps go bazza,world championship number four u were the main man!!
Yep 70's and 80's hot rods were superb and there were some very great drivers out there.

Indeed. And being featured on World of Sport played a significant part.
