How did you find Brisca F1 Stock Cars?
I started as a mechanic for H12 Little Ceesie
What gave you the incentive to race
His old car became a spare in 1986, bought an old Oldsmobile Smallblock and my career was on its way!
First Car - Built, Bought or Borrowed
We always built our cars by ourselves.
Memory of your first race.
My first race was on Baarlo (Short) and in the first heat, I had a tremendous roll over because I hit one of the big tyres on the side of the track!
Best Racing Memory
3rd at the European at Northampton in 1998, but I was disqualified because the car was one 10th of a kilo to heavy ( Thanks to Frankie Wainman Snr) - 515 Frankie Jnr had this problem at the Dutch Open at Lelystad a year before, So that was his revenge (sad but true) but still we did a big party……..
Worst Racing Memory
Broken leg at Venray 1995 , cost me 8 months … I was hit by Louw Wobbes on the back while my car had a problem…..then I had a problem!
Reason for Retiring
Reason ; I had problems with my neck and on doctors advice I retired, but I did go on for two years more and finished in Nov. 2003 as the pain was to much. It is getting better now.
After Retiring - What Then?
We still have our club house, and we still meet with our mech and fans up there .. with a drink of course and talking about the old times, My main mechanic (also my best friend, his son wants to start racing, first mini and then maybe F2 or ….F1 ). So then we are back on the scene but this will take some years.
