I agree with Carrie & Masie, Russell Spence. When he was announced at the start of the '99 season I thought 'oh no!'.
Poor old Russell was always a bit wild, anyone remember the Birmingham Superprix, when he stalled his car and sat in it hoping for a restart - the marshall's had to winch the car off with him still sat in it!
Just about everytime there was a red flag back in '99 you just knew Russell was off into the scenery somewhere. I think arena got through 3 shells after only a handfull of races.
He had a 'biggie' on the Brands Indy, shortening the front of the Laguna by about 18", then the Oulton shunt sort of capped it really.
