MARTIN HUNT VIDEOS

National Hot Rod World Finals 1999-2006

OK: so you've got the 1985-1998 box set and you've watched them often enough to know every move made by every driver on his way to victory. Ready for another history lesson then? We certainly hope so, as Martin has assembled another fabulous DVD to bring the archive bang up to date.

So, climb aboard the MHV time machine once more and look back at 1999, as Colin White records a second famous victory, or John Steward again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, depending on your point of view!

Re-live the culmination of the bitter season-long struggle for supremacy in 2000 between White and Jeff 'Slim' Simpson, with Woolsey again getting in on the act as Colin takes his historic hat trick.

Who can ever forget 2001, when John Steward finally got it all right? He didn't give his fans an easy ride though - don't take your eyes off the screen as the laps wind down in this one.

And what about 2002? This was the year that Davy McCall "did a Christie" and came back to win another World Final long after everyone thought they'd seen the last of him in a National. Twelve years since his previous win and the same poor bloke comes second again. Watch and learn if you can't remember who….

2003 was when Dave Longhurst finally pleased his particular army of fans by adding the one trophy he needed in his collection to complete his illustrious career as a hot rodder.

'Long'un may have had a wait longer than his nickname to get his hands on the big cup, but at least he'd picked up some other world titles. Malcolm Blackman hadn't even been able to enjoy that privilege, but puts all that behind him when he powers to an emphatic victory in 2004.

After trying to capture the coveted title of World Champion for more years than he cares to remember Keith Martin finally drove his self built car to victory in 2005. A controversial finish in 2006 saw Andy Steward in the fence and Carl Boardley taking the title after a last lap incident that will be discussed for years to come.

Need to impress your mates with your knowledge as you're watching them line up this year? Better get this in your collection then!
