EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by CJM Photography, we are transported back to the thrilling world of drag racing in 1971. The image showcases the impressive CJMF 063a Roy Phelps Gloworm Ford Capri, a funny car that defies expectations with its unique construction. Built on a special chassis and featuring a fiberglass body, the Gloworm is not your typical Capri. Its design was meticulously crafted for speed, aiming for a terminal velocity of approximately 160mph and an astonishing standing quarter mile time of just 9 seconds. What makes this vehicle even more fascinating is its unconventional origins. Believe it or not, parts from unexpected sources were incorporated into its creation. The Gloworm boasts stub axles borrowed from the Reliant three-wheeler and link arms sourced from the unlikely Austin/Morris 1100. This nostalgic snapshot captures the essence of motorsport history at Santa Pod Raceway. As we admire this powerful machine frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far automotive engineering has come since then. So let this print transport you to an era when drag racing was at its peak and innovation knew no bounds. Experience firsthand the excitement and ingenuity embodied by Roy Phelps' Gloworm Ford Capri as it roared down those iconic tracks with unmatched speed and style.
