my last race was 1974 in a Davrian, apart from that, the only time on a track was birthday treat Nigel Mansell single seater.
But now I'm back. Brand track day Very cold, yes but yesterday (my birthday remember) was brill, with all the other adjectives etc, the car ran perfectly to my suprise & I managed 50 laps, so here's looking forward to the 2005 season sitting at the rear of the grid & thanks to all who gave so mutch advice Ernie

I built mine in 1972 and raced for 2years then kids & morgage came along, now free of both. wife has Tottenham season ticket & I have new car.
