Dragfest 1964
Back in 1964 The US Drag racing team came over to England and ran a series of meetings to promote the fledgling sport. Bert Brand, an old colleague of mine had some pics from Blackbushe and RAF Kemble. So I tracked him down, he found the negs, and never seen before (except in Bert's album), here is an interesting glimpse into our heritage.

First pics are from 3/Nov/1964, RAF Kemble.
