DESCRIPTION:
James Milsted said DRAG BIKE RACING IN BRITAIN. I have DRAG RACED MOTORCYCLES IN THE USA for many years and have met a few racers from around the world over the years. Many times we have laughed at their ideas and creations. But they work ! As we look at roughly 60 years of DRAGBIKES IN THE USA and laugh at how far we've come, now we can look at BRITAIN and how far they have come. We can appreciate how hard these RACERS work to over come lack of parts and suppliers. Not always perfect weather conditions and tracks not always up to USAconditions or standards. Over.

Jones said great clear pics. very nice, lot of clear pics and pretty good commentary on racing in Britain.
