We have just returned from our visit in the UK. Again we were impressed of the quality and the variety of the cars at the show. Here some pictures:

very clean Buggy. Stylish with a wheel choice against the mainstream

Russel Ritchie´s freshly restored Tar Babe and the Race Shop Bus

Nice vintage racing display. And the bus really trailered the Porsche to the Show

Not quite sure what that was. Surely very creative and a good quality of craftmanship, but far a away from the style we like

DasDragDay #9 Pt. 1

September 26th, 2011 by alex posted in Blog

Just returned back from DDD#9. Great weekend with perfect weather and a lot of race action.

After having troubles with a destroyed slick at the arrival, we managed to get semi slicks on saturday morning and have them mounted as well. Thanks to Jo Clifford and Reifen Becker.

So the race could start

11,899 sec for the 1/4 mile was the fastest time for Fredy this weekend. Not bad, running on semislicks!
