Other RC legends you have never heard of...
Andy Dobson, Phil Stone, Les Pipe, Art Carbonnel, Re-Pete Fusco, Phil Davies, Pete Stevens, Rory Cull, and the list goes on. Very poor comment from an ignorant person IMHO. Alan has one thing about him that makes him ideal for that job, patience. In his full-time job he has worked with some very awkward people, and worked with them well. Some people have lived a full life, and some haven't - Alan is the former.
Perhaps a visit to Moto Arena and having a chat with Alan might improve your opinion - but then why let the facts get in the way of your good story!

Ummmmmm no cant say ive heard of them either, been racing long enough aswell before you say.
I dont know Alan, but from a outside perspective of his work at MA, its not great. He managed to change the track indoors to 9 sec laps cutting out more than 50% of the track, and cause the track to be a car breaker. If someone had years of RC experience im sure they would know how to design or know what makes a good track.
Yes they are/have changing/changed the track again to suit but in my eyes in little to late, they have already lost the credability they deserve by having 4 (correct me if im wrong) launches. It looks the PR person dosent communicate with the other staff there. I think there all on another planet.
I'd love to see the venue flurish and go from stength to strenth, but they need to be asking the right questions to the right people.
SlowOne, truthfully looks like not many people have heard of Alan, but those who know him only have good things to say about him, so im sure hes a great guy. But you cant assume that everyone in RC has heard of the so called 'legends' you have mentioned. Would love to know your real name aswell
