Simple really who are the real heroes/legends etc of club racing? Here are some ideas? maybe we should have a poll after a bit...

1. Brian Jones, uber commentator
2. Gerry Marshall
3. Sideways Steve Avery

What about Hot Rod Birley? He's gotta make the list. What I wanna do - I think. Is get a whole list of club legends and then have a vote for the top ten.

Nah, I think the hero there is Sue who is always working on his car and sorting all the organising problems while he just does the driving
Will have to think seriously about this for a while though.

Sam,
Did the reminder for Brian come from my reply on Formula Woman earlier today?

How about Tom Dooley - 50 years at the helm of BRSCC NW, or Don Truman from the Midlands Centre?
As for drivers, Rick Morris - the best FF1600 driver to never move higher. Rick could have cut in in Grand Prix. And back to people with an organisational bent, how about my good self? OK, maybe not the last part.

Drivers,

Barrie "Whizzo" Williams gets my vote along with Gerry Marshall for navigating via the side windows.

Peter Baldwin - the mini-benchmark for oh so many years.

John Cleland - for the days behind the wheel of the Carlton in Thundersaloons.

Lord Chris Fulke Greville - how many events can you do in a year! Chris probably does more in any one year than many people do in a lifetime!

Martin Short - Made it at last! From the Martlett, to the new Dallara/Judd, on the ball, on the pace, and a hard grafter. Worked hard for everything he's got.

Nearly men - Michael Vergers - He WILL win the Formula Ford festival... one day. A thorough all rounder.

John Pratt - blindingly fast, just didn't have the budget to back him up. Now teaches others how to go faster.

Officials - If I must, it has to be Don "And Formula Ford - Don't do it today" Truman.

Rob.

Stancombe has gotta be on the list...even if its just for the partys that hes thrown...they've gone down in marshalling history!!

Also agree with Steve Avery...he is amazing I remember the last time I saw him race he was pwer sliding round every corner and really entertained us!!

No i'm not gonna nominate you Sam...even though I bet u'd like to be!!

He should be recomended for the amount of damage he can inflict on other competitors in one race.

I wondered if you'd respond to that Graeme, was it something to do with Silverstone Stowe?

Perhaps those in the list who have been professionals at some stage in their careers could be eliminated.
