Not sure about the category you were in at the time (have a feeling it was a an plain Red F3 Ralt RT3 or RT30 you were next to?) but I remember getting your autograph, which you seemed quite surprised about at an August Oulton meeting in '85!!

You may have been talking to Cathy Muller or someone like that?!

I remember it now, and why I was quite surprised......


“Can I have your autograph?”

“Sure! What would you like me to write?”

“How about ‘Best wishes, Frank Sanatra’”?

“Frank Sanatra???” You got to be kidding! The Mafia won’t let him use a ball point. How about Oliver Reed, he’s so bombed he can’t write. No one knows what his signature looks like. I can do one that’ll fill the whole page.”

“No, Frank Sanatra.”

“I’ll give you an Albert Finchley.”

“Who’s he?”

“My bank manager. Why do you think I’m so good at his signature?”

“Thanks, but I think I’ll go ride a bicycle in the rain.”

And that was the last time we met.....

Yes, it was a Ralt RT30, and I had green overalls (a horrible shade), and as for Cathy Muller, perhaps she was just yelling at me to get out of her way, starting with the paddock. She was a touch agressive at the time.
