From Bucks, Entered by Raceshack

Simon is 31 years old and is entering his second season of Legends. 2007 did not go according to plan as a broken shoulder from a motorbike accident excluded participation from the middle part of the season, however confidence gained and two Driver of the Day awards has taken Simon out of the gentleman's group and into the crazy Legends pack.

Simon's Legends car was bought as a 30th birthday present to himself during the summer of 2006. Itching to have a go, the Winter series at Brands Hatch was a first circuit outing for Simon who has previously drag raced a 12 second, street legal beach buggy. The #51 '37 Ford Sedan Legend underwent a full rebuild at Raceshack and emerged with paint inspired by the hot rod scene and endless hours of watching FOOSE builds. An altercation with the tyre wall at Croft nearly ruined the impressive pinstriped bonnet, hand painted by UK master, Neil Melliard.

Simon would like to thank Wendy for supporting him this year, despite Baby Longman arriving sometime between Dublin and Anglesey!
