- This is Time Travel 47, a video I produced in 2004 from Glyn Jones' cine film and slides of the Pennine Drag Racing Club at Melbourne Raceway 1977 - 1978 and the renamed New York Raceway 1979 - 1980... timetraveldvds...
I love this old school drags. Thank you from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
My first drag race ever in Ramcharger against Auntie Jean in Jeans E at this meet in 1978 many thanks for posting some great memories!
glad it brought back some great memories Dave... :-)
Woah i cant get my head around , this was, thete last saturday. Im 51 this, was filmed when i was 7!! Awesome thank you for uploading!
I was at all those meets, I remember Roger Clark competing in his Escort Mexico, just after he won the World Championships.
I still spend a lot of time around the strip, as many of the local farmers are regular customers of mine.
Loved the vid!!!!!!!!!!! 👌👍👌
Great nostalgic video mate.......I was there a lot in the late seventies and early 80's. I think I saw Chris Richards on "Olympus"?? A couple of corrections though.......it was Bandag and not bandage. I think they manufactured or distributed tyres.......and I believe Pip Higham was pronounced as in "High em". Apologies for being pedantic. Thanks for sharing!!
I always remembered it as the Baghdad Bullet for some reason 😮
Great to see old Melbourne, Used to run MD 1 with 425cu ins Buick engine originally Clive Lingards dragster
Great film, Dave gradys high spirit👍
Think it would have been Chris Whitehead driving the gold dragster at 19:39
thanks Matt, yes it was and it was called Gold Digger but I didn't know that when I made the video in 2004
'Wait for the complaining residents to die'. That made me chuckle!
