One year passed and I am illuminated now - Picture taken playing with Tomek Saciłowski. I believe that certain similarity with well-known mystical celebrity (I am still discovering the power of the beard) - can make this a nice duo with the Sweet Czech Saint

The business end, a 289cu in Ford V8 it pulled 12000rpm and screamed like a banshee. Note how the rear slick side walls have wrinkled in to increase the footprint on the ground.

Largest turnout ever for the Messiah Sing with special guests The Sly Voxes.

On the strip, Brian launches off the start line, front wheels up and petrol pouring from the fuel tank breather. The front body was a new additon.

In 1979 my brothers Brian, Raymond and I decided to pool our money and go Drag Racing, it took three years to build the car.

I named her The Deadly Messiah. This was the Brighton Drag and Custon Show 1983, we had just won Best race car in the show.

The performance of Handel's Messiah is part of the Cathedral's observance of Advent, the period of preparation for our celebration of the birth of Christ at Christmas, and our acknowledgement of Christ as judge over all things.

On the startline and waiting for the lights to count down and start 8.9 seconds of furious racing

Coming out of the hole and chasing down the opposition, Brian overhauled him by 3/4 track.

Getting ready to race, laying on the floor to the left of the car is the starter motor, it was powered by four truck batteries.

Musicians and singers performing Handel's famous oratorio 'The Messiah', in London.

Huge burnout, Brian would burn rubber for some 200 yards to make the tyres sticky and lay fresh rubber to use on the launch.

Blasting out of the hole, most of our races were handicaped and we had to play catch up.
