How did you find Brisca F1 Stock Cars?
I saw it advertised in the NATIONAL PRESS 1954
What gave you the incentive to race
I originally wanted to be a circuit racer, but when I found out that I was going to be paid £5 + prize money for Stock Car Racing, I went off and got myself a car!!!!
First Car - Built, Bought or Borrowed
22HP V8 Ford, cut off pick up (Big Mistake!!)
Memory of your first race.
Fourth in my Heat at Arlington (Eastbourne) - May 1955 - Aged 17.
Best Racing Memory
Second behind Johnnie Brise in a heat at Arlington 1956
Worst Racing Memory
Knocked out when hitting post and wire fence at Arlington in 1956
Reason for Retiring
When the "Specials" started in 1958, I couldn't afford to continue racing as I wasn't competitive any longer and all my funding came from my race money. I always thought Stock Cars should be "Chassis and Body belong".
After Retiring - What Then?
I have been a painter, Hotelier, Amusement Park Owner and Turkey Farmer!! As for Stock Cars I have been re-united in 2004, thanks to the Heritage Cars of which one of the cars was mine!
