I remember all of them mate :) Dave Bailey is still racing, 8th rallyx...

Did you use to race in South Yorkshire back in the late 80's - early 90's??

Both of them guys helped me out when I was a numbie in the late 90's. Did an endurance race with Paul in our team at the Dronfield club. If I remember rightly it was all done with manual lap counting before they got transponders. Cant imagine how many laps were missed!
