Time to set the way-back machine Herman!

The year was 1988 and the venue was Mansfield.
One leg A's back then - managed a 5th if I recall correctly.

Gained my F1 licence during the first year they were bought in - can't remember rightly but it must of been about 1990/91. Back then, you had to make 2 A or B finals in the season to get the top grade.

Age back then - now that would be telling but 2010 will see me eligible for the vets under the current rulings

Gained my F1 back in '99, and barring a year break due to none racing I've had it ever since. Not sure ont he year of my first national A, but I remember it was at Aylesbury in 2WD running a borrowed XXX KE. Can't even remember where I qualified or finished (how bad is that).

My sad bastard racing memory is kicking in here... you were using a XXX with a stars and stripes shell... Glyn Stuart's was it? and you qualified 4th... just in front of Richard Taylor who won his 1st national that day from 5th on the grid. Don't know where you came, think the year was 2000.

I can't remember, I know it was broxtowe in 2WD, 1993? that would have made me 13, but I have no idea on the year, I got in from heat 6 or 7 though.

Broxtowe was ace!
