RWYB

The Run What Ya Brung section of activity contained a number of stars of the past, now, and future, with Clive Mechaell, for so long the sole flagbearer of AA/FA action on this side of the pond finally managing to get in something close to a full pull from the California Kid with a 7-second pass that was terminated by a departing blower belt just before the finish line.

Russ Carpenter was one we’ve missed out on at previous Dragstalgias and although the supercharged and on pop Daimler 2.5 litre Hemi-powered rail wasn’t quite in its early eighties form (when Carpenter used to mix it up with AA/FDs, AFCs and Pro Comp cars and, on more than one occasion, beat them with low seven second performances) it certainly was a blast to see the Glacier Grenade turning the slicks in anger.
