Drag Racing 1965

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.

I don't recall having a programme at the event but there were 8 of the US dragsters at this meeting and I think that this is Bob Keith’s car, in which case it has a 494 cu in Chrysler engine.
