    The Billing Years - have you got pics????

    In a kinda un-official way been starting to get together some "lists" and other info pertaining to the history of the NSRA....so that there is a more documented record of the clubs history. Hopefully, there will be some dedicated webspace on this here site to "display" all of the info as it is recorded and not lost in a list of topics in one of the forums.
    Below is a list of the winners, from the first Billing in 1973 to 2007 (thanks to Brizey for the main list and Bellybug for the '85 info). A few bits of missing info need filling and if possible any pics of the cars actually at the event. Its listed over in the history section already but many may look in there....so can you help???

    The 2000 Winner was Frank Caroll in his '34 and in 2008 it was Andy Crockett and his '37
    ...but is it steel?

    Just a small point but 1997, the Willys Coupe owners name is Dave Spreadbury, not Spreading.

    This was taken at Billing in '81 and it's a Pop Coupe so I assume it is Paul Kemptons? can anyone confirm? (I don't think there were that many around back then!)

    Here's copy of the article about Pauls car in Hot Rod & Custom UK taken at Billing that year after he won the participants choice trophy. In the small pic you can see him with the trophy. (sorry don't know how to post large pics ) I can email the full size one if someone wants to put it up, cheers....Nige
