Did we ever find out if Gerb still has the car Tony?

I may have already asked this but when was the last Zandvoort drag race?

The last drag race held there was in 1987 ........................ I think these picture were taken in 1986

I'm sorry to correct you guys but there was Drag Racing held at Zandvoort till 1992 atleast!!!
It was the last time we went abroad to race as I remember they pitted us just behind the start/finish straight (which gave me the chance to see some wicked racing! - shame I didn't appreciate it back then).
It was also the last time I got to be part of dads startline crew before he retired (something else I didn't really appreciate back then much to my disappointment now!) . I remember watching the racing on Eurosport (I think we may have recorded it - I'll have to have a dig at some point) and thinking it was great because I was on TV with my dad

I guess you've seen the 82 meeting that I posted up on my You Tube Channel.

I have, I must say its great to watch them all. Thanks for taking the time to do all this for us Jon!

Zandzoort was a great place! The grip (or to correct myself, LACK of grip!) was legendary!!!
What ever happened to these little foreign meetings spreading the word of European Drag Racing?
As a child I remember Dad always going abroad to race somewhere in the summer months.
Orange, Bordeaux, St Omar, Le Mans, Zandvoort, Hockenheim, Zeltweg..........

The only thing I've found out is it's in the hands of a collectors, who it is and where it is I have no idear

Came accross a few old posters this week which i thought would interest a few people.
After framing them I thought I'd photograph them and post them in their relevent forum subjects.
Not quite 1986 but.....
