The Car in Front is "TEAM GERIATRIC" |
Lucas Oil TEAM GERIATRIC 2011 Suzuki Swift Rally Cross Championship Runner Up & 2011 Best Promoted Team We are pleased to announce our support for Brian House Childrens Hospice in Blackpool, for the coming year. They do fantastic work for children with terminal illness's and as a number of our team have been aflicted with bad health over the years, as you can see below, we felt it appropriate to help the youngsters, if anyone wants to help us then get in touch. We are also hoping to raisse funds for the local hospitals that helped me so much during my times of severe illness. Why "Team Geriatric" ? The name came about in 2005 when I decided to buy Dave Baines car, it was after a strange period of about 4 years when each member of the team, with the exception of young Chris, had a period of time in hospital. I was in and out of hospital, Tony Rice had to have a couple of spells in hospital and Walter Jenkins was in and out at the time. When my wife Susan suggested we would look like a bunch of Geriatrics if we started racing again. As a joke we put a sticker on the back of the car and "Team Geriatric" was born. Tony Rice and I have fully recovered but Walter lost his battle against cancer, he will be missed by all who knew him. As you can see from the top of this page we had a successful 2011, but it was hard work and the car took a pounding on several occassions, thats behind us now and we are ready for a great 2012 season. However prior to that we used to campaign a 205 GTi and as you can see below we had a great deal of success. 2010 Suzuki Swift Rally Cross Championship Runner Up 2009 Khumo Tyres MSA Stockhatch Champion 2009 BRDA Overall British Champion 2008 MSA Stockhatch Runner-up BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP 2008 BRDA "BEST PRESENTED TEAM" 2007 MSA Stockhatch BRITISH CHAMPION 2006 National MDA CHAMPION 2005 National MDA CHAMPION |
