I took these pics when we came over to the Goodguys Hot Rod Drags at Indy in 2006. No idea who the young Hot Rodder is at the top as I took the pic as we were leaving on the sunday, never thought to ask his mum her email address to pass it on. I would like to pass on the pic to the young lad if anyone recognises him.
Here's one of the few blown Anglia gassers that didn't end up rolled up in a ball at the end of some drag strip. This car was a player in its day. Pic taken at Back to the Fifties today.
As an Anglia owner with a lot less horsepower than a blown gasser, I can see how many of them ended up in a twisted heap at the end of a drag strip. Too narrow, short wheel base, and overpowered. I love em though.
I love the looks of Anglias also but why are the top choice for gassers?
Can't any body-style auto be considered a gasser if it has all the right components?
