How long you got?

I hope this isn't a way of saying UK cars are not as good as Stateside builders John.

Dan as long as you like. lt's got nothing to do with UK vs. US cars, an American friend just wants to know.

Without sounding like Im trying to cause a fight, when did you last peruse the pits at Santa Pod ?

[redvictor]

i'd say 95% are built here....

Mix of both, the rolling chassis was made in the states, but we updated the chassis to 10.1E spec and installed the motor, trans, body, tinwork etc etc ya da ya da

Our body and chassis is all british - chassis by Doug Ripley in 1998, body by Clive Meachell sometime.

Thanks for all the info.

The roof and rear quarters are American steel, but all 5 incarnations of the car have been fabricated in England.

The dragster has been constructed in Romford, engine and rear end parts are sourced from the US, the body will be constructed over here aswell.

There's been a big influx of new cars from the states i.e Top Fuel, Pro Stock, and Super Comp style dragsters, but the majority of race cars in the UK, I think are UK built.

Both ours are NHRA chassis's
One is Plueger other is Spitzer
Topolino body originally made by Bill Felsted and Rob Loaring
