Re: When dragracing came to Europe in 1964
------Met and talked to Al Eckstrand at B/J the year he sold the Hemi Charger there. I really wanted it!!! So did someone else. Must have been 4-5 years ago, maybe more. You couldnt imagine a nicer guy. There were dozens of guys around asking questions for hours and he answered every one graciously........Bill S

Re: When dragracing came to Europe in 1964
Pete, I don´t think Sterling Moss ever dragraced himself but he seemed to be interested in the sport. As for cars beeing left in the U.K. after this event, I haven´t heard of it. But definitely in the seventies.
Al Eckstrand has Swedish ancestors I think.  He came to Sweden in 1969 and raced a Mustang at Mantorp Park, when the track had been opened for the first time.
