DRIVER PROFILES
(LAST UPDATED: 21/11/2013)
2 Sarah Taylor
Sister of 137 Craig Taylor, Sarah races along with partner 305 Dan Beck and their two children so
family ties are often ditched in the heat of on-track battle! She took a few wins last season resulting in
a blue roof on average points and her form could easily rise further in 2013-14.
Races a low-slung all-blue machine which is always quick out of the blocks and handles well.
Theme song: Within Temptation - Paradise
3 Michael Horsley-Welsh
One of the club’s promising young guns, Michael always sports his trendy trilby at meetings but he is
no mad hatter! He is always a quick starter and takes a methodical and level-headed approach to his
racing, and is surely due a move up a few grades in the first few meetings of the season. Quietly
spoken, he lets his on-track action do the talking and it certainly did talk last season.
Races a low-slung machine in a distinctive signwritten bright red livery.
Theme song: Joe Cocker – You Can Leave Your Hat On
7 Madison Tressler
Racing is well and truly in young Madison’s blood being the daughter of 515 Dean and 277 Sally
Tressler, plus the sister of former Midland Champion and current silver top 259 Aaron Tressler.
Madison really found form in 2012-13 with a string of Grand National and Merit race victories and also
the first ever Minors Championship for under-11s – she’ll be a favourite for the Junior Championship
this season.
Races a smart replica of 7 Gordon Moodie’s BriSCA F2 and has previously raced a replica of 7 Garry
Tressler’s BriSCA Heritage F1 in Darkie Wright’s livery.
Theme song: Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble
8 Jack Ratcliffe
Former F2 Stock Car driver Jack has found plenty of success in his short career on the smaller ovals,
his biggest wins to date being the 2011 Grand National Championship and the 2010 Novice of the
Year. This shows how quickly he mastered the sport, although last season he was a little out of luck
in major races and is due a change in fortune as he tries to move back up from blue top.
Races a fairly plain and simple looking car, but don’t let that fool you!
Theme song: Reynolds Girls – I’d Rather Jack

13 Hannah Drawbridge
2012-13 newcomer Hannah has worked as a lap scorer at Incarace’s three raceways and also as a
startline and flag marshal at Wolverhampton Speedway. She made her Slotstox debut midway
through last season and was soon up to speed, and her first win is surely not too far away – she could
easily be a future Ladies Champion in the making.
Races an RS Promotions car signwritten in the colours of Incarace and Wolves Speedway.
Theme song: Bowling For Soup – Girl All the Bad Guys Want
14 Chris Mee
Chris doesn’t attend every meeting at the club but when he does he always livens up proceedings
among the lower graders. He scored a few wins in the 2012-13 season including reaching the semifinals at one or two meetings, and a blue roof is surely not far away.
Races a compact car with a very smart Stars and Stripes livery reminiscent of 1980s BriSCA F1.
Theme song: Chromatics – Tick of the Clock
15 Steph Hammond
Partner of 555 Richard Sleeman, Steph made her debut at the beginning of the current season and
was soon up to speed, leading for most of the way in her maiden qualifying heat. She works hard
behind the scenes helping out along with looking after Richard and his son James, and is set to be a
likeable and dedicated addition to the club.
Races a smart and angular machine currently in British Racing Green but soon to be painted pink.
Theme song: Ylvis – The Fox
20 Marie Gilbank-Flanagan
Marie has been around BriSCA F1 all her life as a member of the Gilbank and Flanagan families, and
the lady with the longest name in the MSRA raced well during 2012-13 to achieve yellow grade and
enjoyed a few scraps with her son 21 George Flanagan. She also takes an active role behind the
scenes and is the club’s Treasurer.
Races a smart replica of Mark Gilbank’s BriSCA F1.
Theme song: ABBA – Money Money Money
21 George Flanagan
Son of club treasurer 20 Marie Gilbank-Flanagan, young gun George takes his racing very seriously
and picked up a couple of heat wins plus a few Merit races last season. He could be a good bet for
the Junior Championship this year and is a top tip for other major honours in the future.
Races a pleasing design in a smart metalflake blue livery with a sizeable aerofoil.
Theme song: Survivor – Eye of the Tiger
22 Johnathan Walmsley
Few drivers have made such a dramatic impact at the start of their Slotstox career as Johno, who
took the Grand National Championship in his first season in the sport in 2011-12 as well as blitzing
the Novice of the Year race. A teacher by trade, he can hold his own on the microphone as well as
on the track, has become a promoter alongside 137 Craig Taylor at TW Promotions in only his second
season in the sport, and does plenty behind the scenes for the club.
Races a very tidily turned out all-blue car and is always a fast starter making him dangerous in the
early laps of races.
Theme song: Chuck Berry – Johnny B Goode
25 Ashlee Nuttall
Ashlee was the most impressive newcomer of the 2012-13 season, sustaining yellow top after a
number of heat and Grand National wins, and she scored her first major honour by taking the Novice
of the Year title and was on the podium in the Ladies Championship as well. Her young son Leighton
is always cheering her on from the sidelines too!

Races a Trasler-prepared car in a tidy-looking white livery.
Theme song: Alicia Keys – Girl on Fire
31 Chris Cowley
BriSCA F1 livewire Chris has become well known in motorsport circles following his starring role in
BBC stock car documentary Gears and Tears and his impressive hard-hitting performances in the
sport all over the UK. He is also no slouch in a Slotstox with several wins over the past couple of
seasons including a final win in 2012-13, and he and his ever-entertaining dad 73 Rob Cowley (“You
don’t call that a bruise!!!”) regularly sponsor meetings.
Races a replica of his distinctive M&Ms liveried BriSCA F1.
Theme song: Eminem – Without Me
33 Mark Welsh
Mark’s form has dipped a little in recent months but he bounced back in 2013, taking a Final win at
Sileby and regularly mixing it with the big guns on track. He is determined not to let family rivalries
eclipse his own achievements and a big title win could be just around the corner for him.
Races a new-for-2013 all-white machine and has begun the new season very well with a Final win o
opening day.
Theme song: Tight Fit – The Lion Sleeps Tonight
35 Mark Woodhull
Mark has been a star in BriSCA F1 Stock Cars for several years now since making his debut in 1999,
becoming a shale specialist with eight final wins to his name. He has raced superbly alongside son
335 Jake Woodhull in his relatively short Slotstox career, but his winter season was interrupted last
year due to racing commitments with Team GB on the brutal New Zealand ovals!
Theme song: Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round
37 Callum Blundred
As far as we know Chris Cowley has not yet asked young Callum to swap numbers, and probably with
good reason as Callum is a tough and talented young racer with a couple of heat and GN wins under
his belt as well as a few Merit race successes. He could be among the favourites for the Junior
Championship in 2013-14.
Theme song: Billy Idol - Speed
42 Geoff Radley
Forming a formidable team alongside son 464 Chris Radley, the prime mover behind Amethyst
Promotions takes a determined and analytical approach to his racing and is always in the thick of the
action. Despite his approach he has often been unlucky and major titles have largely eluded him, his
only success being the Grand National championship in 2005. Geoff raced to a couple of Final wins
in 2012-13 and more success is surely just round the corner this season.
Races a carefully prepared car proudly displaying the Amethyst Promotions livery and also owns a
couple of others.
Theme song: CW McCall - Convoy
43 Julie Trasler
As mother to 53 Matt and 84 Dan Trasler she is responsible for keeping order at MAD Promotions
meetings and is a fine racer herself, winning the Novice of the Year title in 2006. She has a slow and
steady approach to the sport and is often still running strong as others go flying out of the action, and
her fun-loving approach always livens up a meeting.
Races a vintage-style car in the 1960s BriSCA tradition even down to its livery.
Theme song: Queen – Tie Your Mother Down

Written by Dave Goddard
53 Matt Trasler
One of the club’s fastest racers, Matt is also a promoter alongside brother 84 Dan Trasler at MAD
Promotions in Sileby, an accomplished commentator, and also won the 2011-12 Points
Championship. This marked Matt’s biggest title win in the club adding to two Rosebowl wins and a
Novice of the Year title in 2003, and in 2012 he also came within a lap or two of his first Midland
Championship at RS Promotions. He rarely takes more than a few laps to hit the front in his races
and could easily win back the silver roof this season.
Races a smartly painted John Lund replica hence his change of number for the 2012-13 season.
Theme song: Madness – One Step Beyond
84 Dan Trasler
The other half of the MAD Promotions team with brother 53 Matt Trasler, Dan is a hard-charging
midfield battler and is always in the hunt for wins. He followed in his brother’s footsteps as Novice of
the Year in 2004 but since then major title success has eluded him. It is unlikely to for much longer
however, as Dan is a battler to the last and always gets that bumper in hard at just the right moment
to fire his way through to success – he is set for plenty of victories this season.
Races a very smart Tom Harris replica and occasionally a Danny Wainman lookalike.
Theme song: Rolling Stones – Doom And Gloom
85 Martin Hulcoop
“Stead” as he is known to everyone has an absolute stack of racing experience with his first title wins
coming back in the early 1980s. Five Midland titles, two points championships, a Rosebowl win and a
Grand National title make him the second most successful driver in the club’s history in terms of
championship wins, and his form continued in 2012-13 as he held Superstar grade. Known for his
steady driving style especially in the early laps of races – hence the nickname.
Races a smart machine liveried in the style of Mick Sworder’s tarmac BriSCA F1.
Theme song: Mission Impossible theme
95 James Sleeman
The youngest driver in the MSRA at just five years old, James is the son of RS Promotions boss 555
Richard Sleeman and has been around racing since birth. He has a good consistent finishing record
in his few meetings so far and always enjoys his racing with his family.
Races a new-for-2013 car currently in brown livery but still to be repainted.
Theme song: Olly Murs - Troublemaker
96 Dave Goddard
Motorsport commentator Dave is best known as the voice of Incarace’s raceways and stock cars and
speedway on the Premier Sports channel, and regularly gets behind the mic at MSRA events too. He
is entering his fourth season of racing Slotstox and briefly broke out of white grade for the first time
last year, but is something of an unpredictable driver with a tendency to roll over on a regular basis.
Races an ex-Burgess family car with a new hand-painted livery in the colours of Incarace and his
business, Midland Sports Media.
Theme song: John Farnham – You’re The Voice
97 Bailey Beresford
Bailey had the ideal mentor at the start of his Slotstox career as dad 318 Karl Beresford is a former
Midland Champion, and both he and brother 150 Kyran Beresford have shown excellent pace
especially at their favourite track of Nuneaton. It was here that Bailey took his maiden win in a Merit
race last season and there are surely more to come for this young gun.
Theme song: Twisted Sister – The Kids Are Back

Written by Dave Goddard
100 Jason Blundred
Jason made his debut alongside his son 37 Callum Blundred at the start of the 2012-13 season and
has hugely enjoyed his racing so far, learning his craft well despite a few rollovers. He was unable to
race in the Novice of the Year final but a first big win could only be a few months away.
Races a smart red and white machine in the 1980s BriSCA F1 mould, carrying numbers that are
clearly a tribute to the great Harry Smith.
Theme song: Limp Bizkit – Rollin’
107 Evan Foster
Son of former Ladies champion 391 Kelly Foster, racing is in Evan’s family blood and he clearly
demonstrated this right from the start of his career. He has rapidly moved up the grades during his
time with the club and held red top during last season, but his biggest success came at Sileby when
he dominated the Junior Championship at his last opportunity to compete. Away from the track Evan
is always keen to help out as a marshal.
Races under Lee Robinson’s BriSCA F1 number and races replicas of Robinson and Dan Johnson’s
cars.
Theme song: Steppenwolf – Born To Be Wild
122 David Granaghan
With a family involvement in BriSCA F2 Stock Cars racing is certainly in David’s blood, and it shows in
his rapid and hard-hitting performances on the track. He always looks after his cars well and has a
reputation as a fast starter, often ripping through from red top to lead the opening laps. A few
rollovers and crashes hindered his scoring a little at times last season, although he did win the
inaugural Golden Goblet at Nuneaton. An accomplished commentator as well as a racer.
Races a variety of different cars and has found success with all of them, and has recently debuted a
very bright green machine for the new season.
Theme song: The Primitives - Crash
137 Craig Taylor
Son of experienced racer 228 Paul Taylor, Craig took the Novice of the Year title in 2000 and since
then has kept on rising through the ranks, winning two consecutive Junior titles in the following two
years and then taking the Grand National Championship in 2004. For the 2012-13 season Craig
moved into promoting in partnership with 22 Johno Walmsley at TW Promotions, and he also led the
points standings for the early part of the season before missing a few meetings, but he is all set to
bounce back!
Races a compact and very smartly turned out car which always handles well and provides hard hits –
marshals beware!
Theme song: Offspring – Hit That
142 Rob Porter
Probably the furthest travelled of the club’s regular racers, Rob regularly makes the trip from his home
in Essex to compete in the Midlands. Don’t let Rob fool you, as he is a hard battling racer who
certainly knows how to use that front bumper!
Races a very smart blue-liveried car which has taken a number of wins in the last couple of seasons.
Theme song: Steadlur – Bumpin’
150 Kyran Beresford
Son of former Midland Champion 318 Karl Beresford, Kyran showed explosive form last season and
at one stage looked on to win the Rosebowl at Nuneaton. He has attained blue grade on points
average and battled with brother 97 Bailey Beresford on several occasions, and is certainly a name to
watch in the future.
Theme song: Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

166 Rebecca Taylor
A change of number and a change of surname for Becky for the 2012-13 season after her marriage to
fellow racer 137 Craig Taylor, and a welcome change in form for her too with some success early in
the season en route to holding a yellow roof. She also helps out heavily behind the scenes in “Race
Control” at TW Promotions meetings.
Races a very smart Taylor-built car in near-identical colours to 566 Percy Sleeman’s machine.
Theme song: Jackie Wilson – Reet Petite
170 Phil Foster
Always a friendly face and always willing to help out with the club, Phil’s form fluctuated last season
with a mixture of results. His biggest result came in 2010 when he was crowned Grand National
Champion and he has yo-yoed between yellow and blue grade since then. Phil finished well up in last
year’s GN points, and can also often be seen stewarding races in between his own heats.
Races a vintage style car very much in the 1960s Stock Car mould even down to its paint job, and
has also appeared with a 391 Andy Smith replica.
Theme song: The Zutons – Always Right Behind You
190 Andy Hankin
Andy raced on the full-sized Midlands ovals in Bangers and Lightning Rods for many years before
recently returning to the ovals as a photographer. He has raced for several months in the supporting
Classic Hot Rod formula on the Slotstox ovals and runs meetings at the Rockingham track near his
Northants home and now makes the step into Slotstox full-time for the new season where he is set to
shake up the established order.
Races a vintage-style car bearing the colours and number of the famous Len Wolfenden.
Theme song: Duran Duran – Hungry Like The Wolf
197 Dean Tressler
Dean has been involved in Stock Car racing for decades and has been there, seen it all and done it
all in Slotstox too, including winning the very first Rosebowl back in 1982. He is the Chairman of the
MSRA and regularly stewards races, as well as being well known as a model stock car builder with
some superb replicas having been produced by his gifted hands over the years. Dean and his family
are also involved in BriSCA Heritage racing on the ovals and also Pickup Truck racing on the circuits.
Races a typically smart Ryan Harrison replica as befits his number change for the 2012-13 season.
Theme song: Guns’n’Roses – Live And Let Die
203 Sharon Welsh
The leading lady of Midland Slotstox, Sharon holds a record three Ladies Championships and has
plenty of racing experience, taking the Rosebowl crown back in 1995 as well as the Grand Prix title in
2011. She is the most likely challenger to the men in the big title races, and does not often allow
family rivalries to get in the way! Away from the track she can often be seen with clipboard in hand
helping out on results duty, as well as marshalling.
Races under a number made famous by Danny Clarke in BriSCA F1, but uses a new and attractive
purple paint scheme.
Theme song: The Knack – My Sharona
211 Yazmin Taylor-Beck
Racing alongside her parents, young Yazmin made her Slotstox debut at the age of just five years old
and surprised many with her fine form at the end of 2011-12, performing superbly in both the Novice
of the Year and Junior Championship races. She is sure to develop an on-track sibling rivalry now
that her younger brother 212 Harvey Taylor-Beck has joined the field!
Races a 1980s-style car in a very well-painted Hello Kitty livery.
Theme song: Yazz – The Only Way Is Up

Written by Dave Goddard
212 Harvey Taylor-Beck
One of the youngest members of the MSRA, Harvey made his debut at the start of 2012-13 and was
very quickly up to speed, certainly making several established racers sit up and take notice when he
took part in the Junior and Minors Championships.
Races an ultra smart Lightning McQueen-liveried car, displaying the number made famous by BriSCA
legend 212 Frankie Wainman and son Danny.
Theme song: Sheryl Crow – Real Gone
218 Simon Burgess
The last of several members of the Burgess family to compete at the club over the past few years,
Simon is a softly spoken character who lets his racing do the talking. He found success on his return
to the fold last year including a Final win, and a move back up the grades is surely on the cards for
this talented and very fast motorcycle-mad young gun.
Races a compact blue machine which one or two have called the “gaffer tape special” but the blue
tape across the front certainly doesn’t slow Simon down!
Theme song: Chris Spedding – Motor Bikin’
222 Bradley Harrison
A member of one of BriSCA F1’s most famous families, Bradley hopes his family’s heritage translates
to the Slotstox track while at the same time limbering up for his own debut in F1 Stock Cars. He has
only made sporadic appearances at the club so far but his talent is obvious and the former National
Ministox gold top has a big future in sports large and small.
Races a smart red-painted machine which always stands out on track.
Theme song: Italian Job – Self Preservation Society
228 Paul Taylor
“Stoxman” as he is known has a long heritage in the sport in both full-size and miniature forms, but he
is another who has found title success hard to come by with his only wins being a brace of Grand
National titles in the mid-2000s. He works hard behind the scenes for the club including helping in the
production of regular newsletters, and is a regular car builder with examples of his handiwork raced
by various drivers.
Races a variety of different cars over the course of the season, all of which are self-built.
Theme song: Bruce Springsteen – Glory Days
258 Rob Harrad
Rob competed in the real thing as BriSCA F1 number 258 for many years but his real successes
came in Slotstox. He is a double Midland champion although his wins came way back in the 1970s,
but for 2013-14 he is back and will do his best to show he has lost none of his form – could he shake
up the new order among the young guns of the club?
Races a replica of Simon Joblin’s distinctive and attractive New Zealand stock car.
Theme song: Men At Work – Down Under
259 Aaron Tressler
Young Aaron picked up father 515 Dean Tressler’s skills and knowledge straight away when he
began his own career, winning three Junior Championships on the trot and taking a stunning and
hugely popular win in the Midland Championship in 2011 becoming the second youngest winner of
the gold. He then added the silver roof to his tally of titles in a close fight at the end of the 2012-13
season and more major honours could be around the corner for this talented young racer.
Races a Paul Hines replica hence his livery and number.
Theme song: Def Leppard - Rocket

260 Nigel Shaw
Nigel is a true stalwart of the club and has held the Midland Championship a record six times, his first
victory coming back in 1996. He has also won the silver roof a record seven times and is the only
man to win it three years in a row, and this plus three Rosebowl wins, a Grand Prix title and two wins
in the now defunct Superbowl make him the most decorated Midland Slotstox racer – and he shows
no sign of slowing down yet.
Races a Dave Beresford replica (hence his number) and has also appeared with a somewhat vintage
all-yellow car nicknamed variously “The Canary” and “The Flying Banana”!
Theme Song: Elvis Presley – Jailhouse Rock
268 Pamela Shaw
Pamela races with the club occasionally but is more often kept busy looking after husband 260 Nigel
Shaw and his son 488 Elliott Shaw and ensuring that their run of success continues! She is always
willing to help out and is part of the lively banter that surrounds every club meeting.
Races a tidy car prepared by husband Nigel.
Theme song: Wayne Fontana – Pamela Pamela
277 Sally Tressler
A change of number for the 2012-13 season brought about a welcome upturn in form for Sally as she
sustained blue top throughout the season and took a superb win in the Ladies Championship at
Sileby in February for her first title success. Family ties are often ditched at events as Sally battles
husband 515 Dean and children 259 Aaron and 7 Madison with all the family providing great
entertainment.
Races a very smartly turned out machine with distinctive bright orange framework.
Theme song: Commitments – Mustang Sally
305 Dan Beck
Introduced to the sport through the Taylor family, Dan impressed quickly and made it up to red top on
points average despite limited appearances. He has reached the semi finals of a couple of meetings
this year and a recent regrading down to yellow should see his form improve again.
Races a car similar to the BriSCA F1 of Carlos Perez hence his number.
Theme song: AC/DC – Heatseeker
335 Jake Woodhull
Racing alongside his famous father 35 Mark Woodhull, young Jake has shown plenty of promise
during his short Slotstox career and a first race win is clearly not too far away. Overseas
commitments for Dad in New Zealand were the only thing preventing Jake from pulling in more points
last season, but surely we would all choose a dream trip to go racing Down Under rather than a few
points!
Races a carefully painted replica of his father’s BriSCA F1.
Theme song: Psy – Gangnam Style
391 Kelly Foster
Kelly is one of the leading ladies of the club and has honed her racing skills very quickly, winning the
Novice of the Year title in 2009 and the Ladies Championship the following year. Kelly works hard for
the club behind the scenes as the MSRA’s Secretary, and her bubbly personality and fun-loving
approach to her racing livens up every meeting.
Races various cars from the Foster family garage including two superb Stuart Smith replicas.
Theme song: Journey – Don’t Stop Believing.
464 Chris Radley
Chris really hit top form in 2012-13 with a great win in the Rosebowl Championship at Nuneaton and a
close fight with 53 Matt Trasler and 259 Aaron Tressler at the top of the points chart. He has also

Written by Dave Goddard
won a Grand National championship in 2006 and was Superbowl winner the same year, and is also
active on the promoting front alongside father 42 Geoff Radley at Amethyst Promotions. A very
dedicated racer and always fast and forceful in the heat of battle.
Races an attractive white-liveried car for 2013-14 carrying the number made famous by Jamie and
Luke Davidson.
Theme song: Kasabian – Fire
488 Elliott Shaw
Son of multi-title winner 260 Nigel Shaw, Elliott was a winner right from the start of his career taking
Novice of the Year in 2002 before taking four Junior titles in five years. He has also won a Rosebowl,
three points championships and scooped the big one in 2010 taking the Midland title before adding a
second gold roof to his collection at Sileby in 2013. Away from racing Elliott is highly committed to the
club as the grader among other roles, and his marshalling skills are impressive to watch as his hands
turn to a blur!
Races a smart and well-painted all-red machine, but own a number of different cars and can often be
found testing several of them between races.
Theme song: Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict A Riot
515 Karl Beresford
Karl is well on his way to rediscovering his old form, having taken the Midland Championship back in
2006 as well as back to back points championships in 2005-06, plus Rosebowl wins in the same
years. He is currently moving back up the grading list despite limited appearances last season, as
well as helping sons 150 Kyran and 97 Bailey Beresford in the sport.
Races a smart blue and maroon car, not yet in the Wainman livery as his number may suggest.
Theme song: Alter Bridge – Metalingus
555 Richard Sleeman
Richard followed his father 566 Percy Sleeman into F2 Stock Car racing after graduating from
National Ministox and picked up a number of wins, before switching career to become a marshal and
official at Incarace’s raceways. He keeps himself busy during the off-season running RS Promotions
and racing at almost every Midland Slotstox meeting, and got several final wins under his belt last
season although so far a major title win has eluded him.
Races a Paul Taylor built car proudly signwritten in the colours of Spedeworth and Incarace and also
has a replica of Chris Roots’ Superstox in the pipeline.
Theme song: Offspring – Pretty Fly For a White Guy
566 Percy Sleeman
Long-time F2 Stock Car driver Percy retired from full-size racing a few years ago and joined son 555
Richard Sleeman as a marshal and tractor driver on the Incarace raceways. He has now joined
Richard on the Slotstox trail too and picked up his maiden Final win last year, and a blue roof could
soon be coming up for this likeable character.
Races a very smart Paul Taylor car in a livery echoing the BriSCA F1 of 221 Shaun Blakemore.
Theme song: Slade – Run Runaway
567 Kathryn Sleeman
Daughter of 566 Percy Sleeman and sister of 555 Richard Sleeman, Kathryn is a former National
Ministox racer and is rising rapidly through the ranks of Slotstox racing, taking her first Final top three
in 2012-13, taking second in the Ladies Championship and a superb and popular victory in the Grand
National Championship. She is a reliable racer and also helps out behind the scenes with race
administration work.
Races an RS Promotions car in a smart black and yellow livery.

568 Michelle Sleeman
Young Michelle is the fifth member of the Sleeman family to hit the tracks following brother 555
Richard, sister 567 Kathryn, father 566 Percy and nephew 95 James! She has learned her skills
quickly and is a smooth and calm racer, and was overjoyed to take her first win in a Merit race last
season.
Races a 1970s BriSCA-style car with a humpback roof and smart energy drink sponsorship, and has
recently debuted a similar vintage-style car.
Theme song: Little Mix – Wings
886 Pete Randall
Former BriSCA commentator Pete has raced for many years with the MSRA and has won the silver
roof twice, but his specialist event is the Rosebowl which he has lifted no fewer than five times. He
was unfortunately eliminated in the first round in last year’s event, but bounced back to score a Final
win later in the season and will soon bounce back up the points chart this year.
Races an attractively painted 1970s-style car which is always smartly signwritten.
