This time its Blackbushe in the 70`s ( I think?) could be 80. Can anyone put a date on these.



The rivalry between Dennis Priddle

and Clive Skilton was legendry.

Liam Churchill was good.

Who is the Hillbillies ??

[NitroWars]

Definitely 70s...
Roland Pratt was the driver of the Hillbillies Funny Car. He is no longer with us...

I think it might be 1974 (ish) as Dennis Priddle was in his last front engined rail (which ran a 6.04!). The wedge shaped rear engined car was built for Clive Skilton then he bought the ex Kuhl and Olsen car back from the USA.

According to this article he ran the Vauxhall funny car in 1975 https://www.britishdragracinghof.co.uk/inducted-me...
