The altered behind could be Kerbdozer, which for those under 45, went on to be Keith Potters 'The Devil'

Now...theres a name to play with.

Sorry, def no pics of that, however, my girlfriend of that era was hit by parts of that car in a scary way, in the wrong incident, if you know what I mean...


What Im planning to do, is to post the odd pic I think will of interest here, and then, when Ive done the lot, I want to out a DVD together, which I will then post off to Alan Currans.

If he posts ONE pic, I will over the moon.

However, I have about 20 packs of 35mm prints to work thru,from the mid 80s to the late 80's.

Bare with me, you will see the good stuff here first, trust me.

The yellow austin wasn't Dorset Horn. It was an early Steph Millam "She Devil" car. Topo behind looks like Bob Battens "Black Mass" car ( the one just after the Marina).

Yes, very much Steph Miliam. The Austin A35 ran as an E/Econo Altered with a Ford 360 for motivation in 1987. At Santa Pod's Supernationals sponsored by The Sun, Steph won the Econo class beating John Tebbutt's 'Heartbreak Kid', Reg Butcher's 'Texas Boogie' and Steve Young's dragster. In the final the little Austin narrowly edged out Jim Seward's stock Rover slingshot dragster, 11.99/110 to a 12.00/112. The altered behind looks very much like Bob Batten's 383ci Chrysler powered 'Black Mass II' Fiat Topolino.

I think it is a fairly new site, has been mentioned by Andrea on here and on eurodragster recently. Not had a chance to look at it myself yet though.
