| Why did you start? |
I helped my husband build
a hillclimb special. It took 18 months and I thought that as I had put a
lot of effort into it I should find out what competing was all about |

| Best Race / drive
and why? |
Best drive was a track
day at Donington Park driving our Formula Ford it was the first time I had
driven on a circuit and I loved it. |
| Worst Race / drive
and why? |
At Prescott Speed Hillclimb.
I was having a really good run up the hill when the welding in the diff
broke with a bang. I carefully coasted back down the hill and told my husband
Jeremy what had happened. He decided that it was just the welding that had
come adrift took a run and did a really good time himself. |
| Favourite Circuit

Triumph Special and Formula

| Best car driven /
owned |
The Triumph Special because
we built the car from scratch, raced it and it has worked so well that we
have won many awards between us. Something that we never expected. |
| Funny Stories |
I get so nervous before
a run that it is very difficult to stop my left leg from shaking. Luckily
once I set off I don't even think about it. Just as well as I would'nt be
able to change gear without the clutch pedal. |
