Who is the best driver? Past or present, rain or no rain?

I think Paul Sleeman in the rain, but Dave Lowe otherwise.

Your opinions please!


Scott

[ScottDay]

Carefull people, i cant keep up with all these replies!!!!!!!!!!

[JustinDawkins]

Sleemans is probably the best, although Fowler is quick, and aggresive(sp??).

[ScottDay]

Sleeman is quickest at brands indy

[jminsh]

Scott if this is the case why hasn't Paul won a race this year, its not like it hasn't rained either.

[ScottDay]

I have faith!!!!!!!!!


I dunno, perhaps its because he is getting old and wants to let others win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jminsh]

Granted he was quick and knows how to race in a fair fashion which was a breath of fresh air, as these days everyone seems to think racing is about getting the oposition off the track asap .
We will have to see how he goes this weekend and next year.

[ScottDay]

OK, sounds fair.

[ScottDay]

You must have faith jminsh

What are your predictions for the top three next year.

[jminsh]

All being well i'll be one maybe little Brother aswell

[ScottDay]

Good luck mate,

One day I wish to race Historics myslef!

[jminsh]

Introduce yourself if your ever at a HSCC HFF event.

[ScottDay]

I have been to a few, mostly at Brands though. I am a fan of Paul Sleeman in case you did not notice. He leaves near to whre i used to live!!!!!!!!!11

[ScottDay]

Try my spelling again.

he lives near to where I used to live,


What car do you race?

[jminsh]

A Merlyn MK20

[ScottDay]

Have you got any pics of yourself racing, as I am starting a collection of racing pictures.

Thanks a lot,

Scott

[JustinDawkins]

Jason, arn't you temped to have a go at the Nothern series in your wife's car?

[jminsh]

I had a go on the big track on the only occasion the BRSCC used it this year (strange how they had a big grid on that day, again not doing what the main of members want but iam not getting going on that one)Qualified 2nd led for 8ish laps then found that older FF's can still bite(Quiet DIZ)
What would the Wife race if i did that !!!anything for an easyish life !!!!
PS my lap times in the Merlyn would have put 5th on the grid for post 86 race !

Jay,

## then found that older FF's can still bite(Quiet DIZ) ##

I thought it was a self inflicted bite on the Foulstons tyre wall, but I must admit you were going very well at the time. Very Gilles Villeneuve the way you did your slow tour back to the Pits though. Good these ACB9s' aren't they?

[jminsh]

Shushhhhhhh or they will all want them in the next rules shake up. (heads down)(incoming)

[dhart]

You aretoo modest Jay,you must rate yourself as one of the top hysteric...sorry historic ff guys about, next year will see Neale Blunden out too , i think sleeman will have a lot to think about then!

[jminsh]

Not heard of him ,should i have ,sounds like i will do !
What cars he in.
J.

[dhart]

He won southern Zetec a few years ago (when it was worth winning!)he did various FF1600 In 89VD & 89 Reynard - quick guy - saw him at brands and he thought he had a drive lined up, didnt ask what in.

[jminsh]

hmmm i'm thinking how to shoehorn your RF90 into a Merlyn body and get away with it.

Are you running Steve st this weekend if so i'll see you on sunday .

I've got it all to do starting the weekend with the last chance fool or what.
J.

[dhart]

I think the last chance might be a full grid with reserves!
Thought you car was an Adlam 01 with a Merlyn top section,more chance of making that fit than a VD set of Kent bodywork,and dont forget to remove the ally calipers the ally 3 way shockers ,and the electric water pump, oh! and your exhaust cone(chrome exhaust systems banned)
