Always impressive when you can see a bunch of Bones in the same place.......a lot of other bad ass rides too.
Make sure you check out the "2021 Goodwood Revival paddock & pre-1966 car park" and "2021 Goodwood Revival pre-1966 car park arrivals" videos too. Too many foreign cars for the HAMB but, they are full of great vintage cars. I have been watching Nick's videos for a while. He also does drag boats and tractor pulls as well. He has a California Suede Gray Model Y hotrod and makes a bunch of shows. Seems the Brits have a bunch of great traditional cars and have fun with them. His Pendine videos are HAMB friendly and very good too! Enjoy, Mike
Nick was at it again. Predominantly HAMB friendly, with a few exceptions. 2021 NSRA Hot Rod Drags Santa Pod part 3 I'm sure there is a 1 and 2 Mike
I'm 11 minutes into the lead video and there are some great cars at that event besides the bones brigade. Many far more interesting than the cookie cutter bunch with different frosting on them.
This is an 11 hour video. (2021 Goodwood Revival day 1 full day ) The full Hot Rod parade starts 12 minutes in. I can't make a link with the timestamp work. I guess it somehow gets nixxed by the forum software. There is about 18 minutes of them on the track. The commentary is interesting Great pro shot video. DEAD LINK The race on day three is here: Hot Rods start at 18:20 and go 'till ~ 31:30 DEAD LINK Enjoy, Mike
Late in 1999 I received and invite to participate in the 2000 Goodwood Festival of Speed. All expenses would be paid including shipping the El Caballo over. How could I say no. The very thought that an old hot rod could be asked to join in with a bunch of very formidable racers was mind boggling in itself... Naturally I said absolutely. They had decided to add "Hot Rods" that year, and need 2 more racing hot rods. I suggested the Navarro roadster and the Ol Yeller II. Both accepted the offer. I invited Ak Miller and Ray Brock to go, and needless to say, my wife and crew had an absolute blast. In the pits, I had Smokey Yunick and the "Sidecar Racecar" and on the other was Phil Hill and a Scarab. It never ceased to amaze me how many Brits passed the other racers to check out the El Caballo. At one point a fellow approached me, beside the car, and commented how it was a shame that Ak Miller wasn't still alive. I told him I hoped he was still among the living, as he was sitting right behind me. "Bloody Hell" he bellowed, "Outa My Way", as he brushed me aside, hand extended, to meet Ak. Later, on one of my passes up the hill (the driveway), I was waiting at the top for the rest of the group, before proceeding back down. Ernie (Ol Yeller II) had told me that there was a large group of spectators behind a fence about 100 yards beyond the holding area up on top, and to be sure to walk over and talk to them. I did, and was amaze how much they knew about American race cars and drivers. While walking back, I stopped about half way, face to face with none other than Sir Sterling Moss. I tried to maintain my composure, and soon was engaged in plain old B.S. After about half an hour, I realized we were alone up there, the rest of the cars having headed back down. I had the pleasure of chasing him back down...... During one run, I met a hay bale in an unpleasant way. The El Caballo was still drivable, but needed some TLC. I posted on a message board that I needed space and tools for the repairs. In the blink of an eye, a Rolls pulls up to my pit, and a very proper gentleman steps out and says if I follow him, he will escort me to a barn where I can make the necessary repairs. We drove through fields, past lots of farm equipment, to a very old building, I mean 100's of years old, and proceeded to enter through massive wood doors. Inside was a very modern shop, with everything anyone could need for maintenance of equipment. Cool, and to work we went. About 2:00 AM there is a knock on those monster doors, and a gentleman in a tux comes in with a tray of goodies. "Tea and bisquits, gentlemen"..... Man I could get used to this. Needless to say, we all had a trip to die for, and memories that will never fade!! By the way, the El Caballo, and the Dick Flint roadster shared the hold of a 747 for the trip. The photo is of my wife, Ak Miller, and myself, decked out for the grand ball, in the home (castle) of the Earl of March..... Ray Brock wrote a tribute to Bonneville for the Festival of Speed book that year, so he was off hobnobbing when the picture with Ak was taken.....
