Some driver................

Apart from his 'larger than life' and jovial reputation, it's easy to forget that Gerry was indeed SOME driver. Having been weaned during the 70s at Mallory Park, his was always the name I wanted to see on the entry list, and he never failed to deliver value for money, whatever he was driving. Later, when I saw him in so many different types of cars, and generally excell in them, I began to understand just what a great driver he was, while always willing to share a few stories with a youngster. Still sadly missed, but so fondly remembered.
