In 1964 and 1965 the US National Hot Rod Association in conjunction with the British Drag Racing Association organised an exhibition tour of Britain which in 1965 included a drag race meeting on the runway of RAF Woodvale near Southport. This is a photograph of one of the American dragsters that took part.
It's Starlite III, built in 1964 by Chuck Griffiths and driven by him at Woodvale. He made 4 runs that day, the best being 8.11 seconds for the ¼ mile with a terminal speed of 198 mph.
