It was Belle Vue in 1984 that got me back into watching racing and going to circuits. I used to go with my father but that stopped around 1976. I was studying in Manchester in 83/84 and was renting a bedsit around 15 minutes walk from Belle Vue. A friend of mine on the course took me to Belle Vue for BRISCA stock cars and I was enthralled. Went back several times before my stint 'up north' came to an end. When I came back, I started visiting Thruxton (my 'local' circuit) Brands and Silverstone and for the next 3 years I was somewhere virtually every weekend in my Inca Yellow MGB GT. Then I got married in 1988 and my circuit visits were curtailed somewhat.....
