NATIONAL HOT ROD STARS GATHER TO CELEBRATE 50TH WORLD FINAL
A special celebration of every surviving National Hot Rod World Final winner will take place at this year’s event on July 2-3, which marks the 50th running of the event.
The World Final first took place in 1972 and has only missed one year in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. To celebrate the landmark race at Foxhall Heath, organiser Spedeworth has invited all the champions and fans will get the chance to meet their heroes with a special autograph session, which will take place on the short oval in the buildup to the 75-lap showpiece.
Spedeworth boss Deane Wood said: “This will be a great way for us to celebrate the history of the event and give something back to the fans too. Unfortunately, the first winner, Bob Howe, is too ill to come but all the other winners will be coming along to meet the fans and add to the anniversary.
“Spectators will be allowed onto the circuit in the buildup to the main event and will get the chance to greet their heroes. It will be something unique.”
