The only motorsport where women competed equally with men. Shirley Muldowney, Britney Force etc.

I went to Santa Pod during one of Englands hottest days ever. I think it was 84. There was a car named “Vanishing Point”. I also remember a Ford Pinto tearing up the track only because we owned two Pinto’s at the time.

I remember it too ,Vanishing point was a jet car and the announcer would say "blink and youll miss it" it was capable of getting to 100mph in 12ft.

This is the first time I've set eyes on the Gladiator Funny Car since the late 1970's! Alan Herrdige was a top driver in the day. Used to see other cars such as Dennis Priddle and his Monza funny car and the Houndog funny car. I was there when the Medicine Man slingshot top fuel dragster wheeleied and turned over completely, we even recorded it on cine film at the time. So many good memories; Dave Lee Travis in the Needle top fuel, and Roz Pryor. One of my all times faves was 'Als Gasser', a Ford Model-T V8 that was such a beautiful car. 🙂

Gladiator is still running, albeit in name only. The car is brand new and Jason Phelps (As in the son of Roy Phelps, the track owner in the film) drives it. Al's Gasser is still running too. Apart from that not a lot has changed.

The late great Bob Phelps, I can remember those days and also once getting a lift back to London in his son Roy's Caddy when we hit the ton on the M1. Heck of a legacy?

Bob wasnt married to his partner Eileen (she was not Roys mother) but she was a lovely lady who just wanted Bob to be happy. Lets be honest without the phelps and santa pod, drag racing in the uk, would be like a car wow video with a few hundred people watching.

And over his head the joke went - actually I’ve been into top fuel dragsters and funny cars since the early 80s, actually got to see Sammy Miller’s ‘Vanishing Point’ back in the day, so don’t be so quick to judge).

LOL The reporter is a little bit like "What does a little, gentle, pretty woman like you in a big, dangerous, ugly car like that? Aren´t you afraid? You surely need some protection by a man!" ...and he was right! Because what does a little, gentle, pretty woman like her in a big, dangerous, ugly car like that?
