Yup Mike Holdridge if I remember right! Yes a couple small things I was able to dig up for you and your right this is the best group of people you could ever ask to deal with.
Yep that's him. Not sure if you know, but he had an insane 62 twin turbo BBC drag car and the turbos were massive.
His best run was a 6 sec pass @ 210 mph.
We landed up staying with him for a couple of days when we were over there in 2014 and had an awesome time and took pics of his car.
He was retiring at that stage and selling up everything.

Yes I got to see that car when I was at his shop. It was impressive to see! I think he said it started out as a ss 409 clone that he raced that way for a bit and then he kept modifying the 409 to its limits then went to the big block and how it was configured in your pictures. He said the clutch pedal setup I got from him and am using in my 62 came from that car.
