Roll-Call?

[verglas]

Following the debate about my tag on the F3 in the 70's thread I guess I had better formally introduce myself! My name is Chris Rivett and I have been an avid follower of all things motor sport related since my very early years. My first racing memories were as a spectator at Combe in the mid 60's as a 12 year old, cycling the 7 or so miles from home to see the action. Holidays abroad always seemed to encompass motor sport for me, although my parents were not keen on encouraging me to participate, however we did visit the Nordscleife and drove round it in a Vauxhall Victor estate as well as Monza, complete with roof rack fitted! I started to marshal at 15, and that was my lot until I bought a Mallock Mk18 in 1989 and started to sprint and hillclimb mainly in the BARC series. The Mallock went in 1997 when my son, Matthew became 17 and we bought a Van Diemen RF89 FF1600 which I sprinted and he raced. He became far more accomplished than me, winning the Castle Combe FF1600 Class B championship in 2001. Last year we bought the ex-Didier Stoessel/Anthony Davidson Ray GR97 FF1600 car which I have hardly touched, but which Matthew has again been quick in. So that is me, out at last as they say!!!
