Past Seasons

2004

2004, what can I say? Started the season in storming style with a class win at Silverstone and an extremely rapid qualifying session at Rockingham that put me right up amongst the class C (modified) cars. Then it all went wrong...
Firstly, I quit my job to take on a contract in France - which fell through. 'Oh well!', I thought, 'let's go to the Le Mans 24hr instead.' - but the Land Rover had other ideas and wrecked itself on the way there. By this point I was pretty much penniless as my 'slush fund' had just been spent on a Land Rover engine rebuild, so I opted to sit the rest of the year out having completed only 3 races.

2003

2003 was a good season for us, spoiled only by one dubious scruitineering decision at Mallory park. This meant we had to miss one more race than planned and never quite managed to catch up with eventuall class and Championship winner Barry Blakely. Still, a 2nd in Class, 3 lap records and 3rd Overall in the TSSC Championship was a very welcome result.

2002

2002 was our first season racing Triumph Spitfires. And a pretty good year we had too. Mechanically it was a baptism by fire as we got through 4 engines and wrecked a whole bunch of gear - largely due to my inexperience as a mechanic and a driver. Still, we got a couple of fastest laps and finished 3rd in Class and something like 14th Overall in the TSSC Championship.
