Americana International
Festival
July 9th - 11th 2004, Newark, Notts

Weather may not have been kind all weekend, but we
got some shade
from the truck on our left !
|
The latest appearance for
the NHR Camaro was at the Americana Show, held
at Newark, Notts from the 9th to 11th of July 2004.
The show covered all things American: music, culture
and cars. There were both old and new trucks,
street cars, RV's, pick-ups, bikes;........
and The NHR Camaro Fuel Funny Car.

As if you needed to be told

Dogs and Tricks....Elwood (the dog) does his
stuff !

The Camaro once again
received many complementary comments and a great deal
of interest was seen from both drag racing aficionados and those that
have never seen a Fuel Funny Car before and don't know what Drag Racing
is all about.
Team members present at the show were Nobby, Owen,
Darren, Emma and myself, (your humble
webmaster),
with associated friends and families; so it was a nice social occasion for
us too.

|
Once again, Emma managed to
generate the most interest and get all the photographers
demonstrating their skills, really can't think why (!), and
she even got to get some TV coverage.
Nobby was also interviewed but the TV
crew showed somewhat less enthusiasm interviewing him.......
|

Emma braved the weather to again get the
photographers working overtime
|
|

"I remember, right foot is go and this
thing helps to steer doesn't it Nobby ?"
|
Owen decided that he wanted
to have a rest on Sunday afternoon, so, with all
other chairs being put to good use, the only seat available was the
cockpit of the Funny Car, he seemed very much at home too; you would have
thought he had sat in one of these cars before!
Certainly judging by his
smile he seemed to enjoy it.
All that was missing was the vroom vroom sound
effects.....
|
Despite the
less than summery weather a few t-shirts were sold too so if
you haven't ordered yours yet, do so before the summer has passed us
by. You never know these will probably become collectors
items in time..........
A nice relaxing and fun time for the team, that once
again showed the high visibility and profile of
the car. Certainly we were all pleased with the
continued enthusiasm that the car is generating and the desire of
many spectators and supporters to see it in its rightful place and to turn
show into go.
