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!

First A was at Kirkcaldy in bonnie Jockland... qualified 7th, finished 4th. I think I even managed to beat Craig Drescher which was the coolest feeling as a young whippersnapper! It was in 1995 methinks (need Yardy's memory for that). I'd have been 13 and got my F1 that year as well.

Made F1 in 2001 and made my first national A at Kidderminster in 2003 at the age of 27 qualified 9th and finished 6th, I was 2nd in the first leg until i realised Neil had crashed in front of me and i had Tricky and Chris behind me, then i crashed on the next corner ended up 4th in that leg.

My 2nd A final at Bury St Edmunds is my best days racing, After 2 rounds i had my name read out as TQing the meeting

I made my first A in 2006 at Telford, at a young 37. Qualified and finished 10th. The finals were cancelled. Something about rain?

I also got my F1 that year too.

I remember the meeting. You and Mr Cree made the A from heat 1 and 2. You were a proper little mard-arse back then.

Not much has changed since

My first National 'A' was in 2003 at the tender age of 30.
F1, Hmm, I got that in 92-93 only missed it one year since.
