Only 12 years late... Hi!

#1

Post by JBT »

I thought I had better finally introduce myself properly, after joining 12-odd years ago, dropping off the forum a few years later and coming back a couple of years ago.

My name is Jamie, been a motorsport fan for as long as I can remember. I got into F1 properly in 1986 having watched bits of earlier seasons but I'm pretty sure watching the film Le Mans at age 4 a few years before (thanks to the BBC Genome database website for confirming!) was my first motorsport related memory.

In 2002 I started 2-stroke karting and did OK, was never the quickest and never the slowest, won a few races here and there. I raced until the end of 2014, at which time I realised I want enjoying it as much (and was getting slower lol) and other things in life were becoming more important - baby, wife and house! That said, the racing bug is starting to bite again...

I have a deep interest in any racing mid-60's to mid-90's, but to be honest anything with a engine and is built to compete will catch my attention. Something my two year old son is starting to get interested in too!

This a great forum, I need to find the time to post on it more often.

A very late welcome then!

I also drove on Rye House back in the day. Pre-and-post extension. Considered it my home kart circuit. The guy who owned it was a bit of a jobsworth though.
