i meant to add,graham waits escort was arguably one of the best looking hot rods around,with the top class preparation and the striking paint job!

[@daimlermandouble6]

Great stuff! I'm a Barry lee fan but saw graham wait several times at Cowdenbeath and he always looked really quick but never seemed to get it together any where else! Strange!!

[@PhilBurns-oc2vg]

I remember the hotrod's on world of sport with Barry Lee and George polley

[@NG-sj6rj]

No safety fence in those days. Wheels would come off into the crowd and everywhere. I always remember Ernie Burgoyne NO: 47, he was the hatchet man at Cowdie and every chance he got , he put an English driver into the wall.

the blue and yellow escort 110 is graham leask who took that number after j honeyman ,who returned later with number 207

[@daimlermandouble6]

hi thanks for your reply,i know how crazy the engine stakes got!,burton were the ultimate at one time,but then mick collard seemed to get a few extra horses courtesy of holbay racing engines,then blue line,MASS and MBE all joined the fray an engine developed and built just for barry lee was reputed to have cost him and his sponsers between eight and ten grand,a lot of cash now,but crazy money back then!!,(this rumour was never confirmed!!),(blue line were the builders)

2:03 holy shit look at the roof crushed in.

[@gogs110]

Jim honeyman was 110 but gave his number to graham leask who at the time was no. 11. In the clip on hear it was graham in the 110 im afraid to say i no this i was his mechanic for 13 years . The connection with jim and graham they came from stenhousemuir and were gd friends untill a fall out ... Hope that sorts this out
