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

You must have had that all written down in a diary or something, cause there's no way you could have remembered it at your age.

Nearly Phil but not quite!

I have to have a good memory to be able to recall the times when I used to be quite fast - that's all

Remember - the older you get, the better you were!

1st National A: Tiverton, 2wd. 2003. Qualified 4th, finished 2nd. Aged 16.

Gained F1 in 2001 I believe... aged 14, think I finished 28th in 2wd to gain it.

Youngest ever national A finalist was Craig Drescher and I THINK he was aged 10, could have been 9... I wasn't racing then, have just heard the story.

I did it in 1993, At Bury Metro and I qualified 2nd. Age was 18 but I have an even better one than that! It was with a TRAXXAS???????? Didnt do very well in the finals but the year after I won every leg and I got called rotten for it. Horses for courses, they called it. Has anyone else won at there home track? Let me think! Did they get called it. NO.

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).
