History A History of the Anglia Gasser

Always dug the three slot grilles, not often seen, makes for a nice change.

 

I don’t know if this one has been posted but I ran across it while having my morning coffee. Seems Jim Oddy had a nice show winning Anglia at one point. Wish it was a color photo, I’m sure it was a beauty.

That is an interesting shot of that old (Dover) drag strip, insofar as how close the tower is to the track surface. I know driving my old altered that tower would have been "compromised" on more than one occasion of an errant launch.

I like the track prep equipment too (2 push brooms).

 

It's a bit of an optical illusion. It was close but not as close as it appears in that photo. LOL we were "No Prep" racing before it came around to being popular once again.

 

Thanks for the clarification - I almost thought it may have been photoshopped LOL.

The "spelling"...is the same, but the "font" and the "style" are different.
