Publishing - Published 6th September 2004
Relive the
golden years of hot rod racing in the UK. Richard John Neil
has opened up his photographic archive to produce a pictorial
look at the sport from 1971 to 1979.
The Seventies
was the 'golden era' of this type of racing. There were hundreds
of cars racing nationally and throughout the course of the
decade the sport moved from being one for the working man
to one which had virtually professional teams racing in a
countrywide Grand Prix competition.
Heroes like George Polley, Barry Lee, Mick 'Duffy' Collard,
Tom Laffey and Gordon Bland thrilled the crowds week in, week
out.
Hot rods
have evolved even further since the seventies but the sport
retains a keen knowledgeable nationwide spectator base.
The book
features over 200 photographs and captions depicting a cross
section of cars, drivers, circuits, promotions and events.
None of the pictures included on this page will be featured
in the book although the drivers you can see here are featured.
