Time Keeper

Age

Getting on a bit now!

Location

Andover, Hampshire

Job

Backline support engineer for an American software company

Favourite Formula and why?

Any endurance Sports and GT series but especially the Le Mans 24 Hours. I am so pleased when is does not clash with a 750MC meeting so that I can watch it on TV!

Race driving experience

4 laps of Thruxton in a detuned FF2000 on a cold and wet January morning!

How long and history with 750MC

First 750MC meeting in 1996. Took over as Chief Timekeeper in 1999.

Other clubs you have worked for

Started marshalling with BARC as a runner in 1974 before moving onto paddock marshalling, then as a course marshal before starting timekeeping in 1978. Became Chief Timekeeper for BARC in 1986 then later for BRSCC(EA) and 750MC. In recent years have cut back to just 750MC to enjoy more leisure time. Have been fortunate to work on official timing teams at a number of foreign events including WSB races in Malaysia in the early 90s, and the Wellington and Pukekohe touring car races in New Zealand in 1993.

Favourite circuit and why

After this year it has to be Anglesey. Best views from any timing room, even if we did have to share it with race control and the commentator!

Best Meeting you have worked at and why

The 2006 Birkett 6 Hour Relay. It was the first year with 50 teams and the whole timing team did a brilliant job to keep on top of the event.

Outside interests

Walking, reading, yoga, theatre (going to, not acting in!).
