Talking to my father about Bert last night we calculated we had known him for over 30 years. Having first meet Bert before I was even at School going with my father when he needed parts for his Crossle (Bert was an agent). Then having Rays from the 80FF to the 92FF which my father raced and then the GRS05 which I raced for 3 years which Peter now races. My last contact was an email congratulating him and Gavin on winning both Festivals at last.
Think Nev, Matt and others have summed up how great Bert was, his life was his cars he wasn't in it for the money at all but the pure pleasure from his cars do well. We would talk for ages about set up especially with my dad's cars and he would always say or you could always buy some new tyres knowing they were probably at least 6 races old.
He will be sadly missed, RIP Bert
