Is there such a thing as a starter rod? Maybe, maybe not. But we’re pretty sure that if there is, Kelvin Clough’s is not the first example you’d think of.
A steel bodied ’32 roadster built to the sort of standard that wins shows? That’s what he set his sights on. And he had to build it on a clock, too – because back home, a young lady was waiting to be whisked to her school prom…
Adam and Chris Nowak’s Roadrunner was built to the highest of standards too. It’s a racer, not a show car – but they set their sights on running 10s in a streetable 440 that looked as stock as possible. And that’s exactly what they’ve got.
If you’re into your racing, our report on the National Finals at Santa Pod is a fitting round-up of the deciding event in some many class battles. And if you’re into your rods, Jody and Niki Gething’s Pop and Anglia are two of a not quite kind that do a very good job of keeping it in the family. Their dad still joins them as tail-end Charlie on the way to shows… aboard his classic Roller.
