Legends car 47 (part owner)

Born: Shrewsbury, 21-6-47

Age: 62

Lives: Newbury, Berkshire

 

Job:

I manage & maintain a private country house with assistants Margaret (Midge) & Poppy (dog.)

Racing History:

1972-1980: Short circuit gearbox karting. Had good wins in 250 National class, winning class in club championship & the Midland Championship in 1979.

1980 - 1984: Long circuit karting with 250cc Yamaha & (my favourite) 250cc water cooled Rotax Twin, which was good for 140 mph.

Racing was then had to be put on hold whilst raising a family. Zoë, Dylan & Morgan are my greatest supporters.

2008: 1000cc Suzuki F1 sidecar, raced at Mallory, Pembrey, Oulton Park, Donington & Thruxton; with neighbour Kevin who will be sharing Legend 47.

Some exciting & scary moments.

(Sidecar is for sale if anyone is interested, tel. 01635 49501 or 07979672701)

Hobbies:

As someone who enjoys their work & is always busy I try to unwind practicing golf on the private course at work (where I recently had a hole in one!)

I try and keep fit & my new dog Poppy needs a lot of exercise.

If there is any time left I like to ride out on the Harley.

I am looking forward to competing in Legends. The driving is so competitive that my initial ambition is just to keep up.
