Re: Barrie Williams
He's bloody 72 or something isn't he ? Most of us will be drooling down our fronts and having our bottoms wiped by the time we're that age let alone racing ! Amazing bloke really.

Re: Barrie Williams
Whizzo in in good company;
He still have some years ahead of him if he's to beat swedish legend Erik Berger... he's 85 (!!!) and still kicks the young 'uns ass with his Escort RS1600.. Not even he's son gets an easy win....

Re: Barrie Williams
Tom Delaney was a lovely bloke. We had his other Lea Francis Hyper in the showroom for a while. It was an ex works car and I think his father had owned either the company , or one of their main supliers. Tom had a real twinkle in his eye when he introduced me to his 'girlfriend', Lulu (no, not that one) who must have been at least 75, but had obviously been real a looker in her day.
Tom had a pretty nasty shunt in his mid '90s but I think he came back to race for a couple of more seasons and only gave up a year or 2 before he passed away.
Wizzo has a few good years in him yet. I believe he thinks he is 21!

Re: Barrie Williams
Oh by the way, Barrie beat me, but not by much

Half a second that is a lap.
What a fantastic bloke by the way.
I'll get a video up from his grasstracking

Yes he is very friendly had a nice talk with him at the MCR / Beaulieu meeting.
He told some good stories, from when he was in Denmark racing

Re: Barrie Williams
Whizzo out this weekend at big Superprix meeting at Brands in E type at least (not sure if anything else).
Glad he's not in the Saloon race as it's always embarrassing when he gets straight out of something rear wheel drive and then into front wheel drive and within 1/2 lap he's on the pace

Re: Barrie Williams
i guess the guy in the white escort is a rally driver
did he forget that other people where on the track at the same time as him?
