Was racing at Angelsey when i was in the paddock bar speaking to this old man and he was giving the i used to have a rs500 and race one etc etc. i just thought another dreamer he was setting a band up aswell that was playing that night.

anyway later on in the night i was on about getting more track tuition which he said he can supply so i thought yeah right your about 70 lol , anyway he give me his business card and went to play in the band on the night.

sat there moment later and just looked at the business card and its only

Good news mate

 

Did you enjoy my local track?

 

ahhahah you never know with these old fellas i met kevin bartlet out here in oz he raced camaro's out here and was a multi bathurst winner. i went out for a drive with him in a new camaro and holly fcuk can he pedle a car for an old fella not shy at all lmao

 

LOL

for once the "I used to have an rs500, the ones with 500bhp" story is true, cause the race ones did

 

so true

make a change

 

I've just been watching the TVR Tuscan race from the 1990 Birmingham superprix and it was Chris Hodgetts that won it, watch this race at about 7:45 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u32kT0UsUsY

 

kev bartlett's a proper legend..

 

what a track!!!
best track ive raced on yet has some fast parts and some slow done a 1:23s and it was damp so pretty pleased we were using the coastal circuit.

 

I raced against him recently.

I lost .

Had no idea who he was, he just happened to be at the Kart centre when we had Franco's stag do. Suffice to say he won LOL. He then got his much younger "girlfriend / wife / mistress" to collect the trophy.

I only NOW realised who he was from looking up Chris Hodgetts on google, as I still hadn't heard of him . But when I saw his photo, I thought - "I know that bloke from somewhere" .

I thought it was a bit pretentious that he was kart racing with a funky metallic green crash helmet with a drinks tube and pukka race overalls . I don't feel so bad about loosing to a 60 year old now .

 

Fcuking ringers!!!

I thought he looked a tad like Hadland!
