Default Anyone heard of this legend?

Some say... he's a motorsport superdude.

Some say... he's an RC legend

Some say...He's a cock!

Here is his CV from Moto Arena

"Alan Leighton is RC Manager - over 30 years of racing experience inluding BRCA PRO Officer, BRCA Section Secretary & Chairman. RC racing: 1/10th Scale TC, IC, F1, Pro 10, 2 & 4 wheel drive off road, 1/12 scale, 1/5 scale, 1/8 scale, various classes of cars and bikes also aircraft. Also full size Motor Racing/Sports: from Stock Cars, Spedeworth, Brisca, Legend, Indoor and Outdoor Karting, Motorcyle On and Off Road, Trials, Formula 1 etc. Alan has vast experience and vast knowlege of all forms of RC racing and Motorsport in general -too much to list here!)"

i like the bit about Formula 1 etc. If I was putting this on my CV I'd go the whole hog and include the following;
Nasa lecturer
1st man to set foot on the surface of the sun
300 caps for England including triple hat trick in the world cup final.. on my debut!

Has this guy had any time to go to bed!!!

What would you add to you legendry CV?

If it is the Alan Leighton that I am thinking of and know, most of that is actually spot on about him, and he is a really nice guy with it too tbh....

No poll on this one ?



funny though that when you Google Alan Leighton he first appears on page 6. Thats after a man from Asda, a man from the post office, a union rep, a plumber and a wedding photographer. There was one entry with a guy being called a c*nt but it wasnt him. (I checked).

When he does appear it is this thread!

the guy truly is a leg end

So truthfully, he's never been heard of until yesterday
Must have kept all his talents a secret ......... perhaps he's just shy

I know Alan from racing 12th circuit nationals for about 10 years. He also raced a fair bit at PRO 10 and touring car nationals.
He was 12th section Secretary for a few years and then Chairman for a couple of years. He had a passion for the sport and was prepared to give his time to it.
He also organised a 12th Euros in Boston (Lincs, obviously) in the early noughties.
I think the reference to Forumla 1 is to do with the Stock Cars F1 class but has been seperated from where it should be...
