no haters cause i picked the ellis boys Gareth learning to drive by watching youtube videos then staying on it whilst his feet were on fire and getting the win
and graham for me fast brave and outspoken...a real character Also Frosty again a big character says it how it is and dont care if its not what you want to hear.Ok keep this on topic please ladies and gents .....Iv done a bit of an edit Robert Joosten always supported the british rounds...again a tough racer ..i feel for his team they are all heros and the guy in his car is proving his metal its a tough sport and Robert was made of the right stuff...

agreed it dont realy apply to the car guys so much but homebuilt innovative machinery is the norm rather than the exeption in the tf/st pits...they are the machining gods all of them i mentiond Karling cause standing on the bank watching that thing go 1000 ft on the wheelie bars and semingly firing every other fence post was for me as good as it gets

Kim Reymond for sure i watched that run. it was the run as stated Anita and Urs because they had the balls (sorry Anita) to put their own money down and run their own cars in a very uncirtain finantial climate...yes there have been and are others ..Andy carter because he had the drive to go at it for years and did well consistantly
how far back in time do you want to go??
roy phelps workshop in bromley
Tony Boden at hockenheim...i was theriv seen many fast runs runs of the age so to speak seen many riders and drivers die
Im just keeping it lite and keeping it recent as there a lot of youngsters in our sport today and as im talking recent
Jonnie Lindberg is my latest hero
self tuned two tafc world championships 9th in nhra fuel funny car standings a future nhra standout
