My first memory of Aintree was being driven around the circuit on my grandad's lap behind the wheel of dad's Titan MK6 following a break down truck with dad stood on the back on his "lap of honour" this was after dad survived a last minute lunge from Frank Sytner despite colliding, Frank came off worst (somethings never change) and dad went on to win. I still remember to this day the stones being thrown up from the front wheels and bouncing off my head : great!!!
