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!
