Water Box: Angry Anglia

Paul Dale lays down a smoky burnout in his “Acute Angle” Ford Anglia 105e while competing in the Supercharged Outlaws category at Santa Pod Raceway’s Dragstalgia. Powered by a 355-cubic-inch small-block Chevy, the record-setting Anglia has been as quick as 7.75 seconds and as fast as 174 MPH. The English racer is a regular at Santa Pod, especially at nostalgia-focused events like Dragstalgia and the Nostalgia Nationals.
