Teddy, my oldest Grandson turned 12 earlier this month and was, at last, able to get a competition license to race with the Pennine Auto Grass Club in the 12 to 16 class. Much time had been spent preparing the blue Mini over the last few weeks building up to the BIG DAY last Sunday. I was delighted to be able to be stood shivering at the side of an oval of packed mud in a biting wind just south of Ashbourne to watch Ted in his first ever race. Nerves were soon swept to one side as young Ted, on only his second lap, overtook the Citroen AX of Shaun Nelson on the outside to leave him choking on blue smoke. Four races, four finishes, no mishaps. A great start.

Good-looking lad, obviously can drive a bit, could be a Star in the making if he doesn't want too much money. It just so happens I'm looking for talent.......
Thanks Bernie. Suggest you get in sharpish. He's being headhunted already. Remeber how Eddie lost Shuwey?
Err....any tips for Sunday, Bernie?
Well done Ted.
Never mind that Ecclestone. I might need some back-up for Fernando. Could Ted get down to Melbourne tonight?
Flavio, Sorry mate. You're too late. He's there now as back up for Lewis. Old Ron doesn't miss a trick. You still up for a couple of pints and a curry on Wednesday?
Weds huh? If we get back from Melbourne in time, Bernie and I might have to take the QPR training session first. Can I bring him along too?
Christ no! Don't bring Bernie. I'm knocking off his ex! Bring Ross. He can pay with his winnings. See you in Babalas. Mine's a Timothy Taylor's. Then we'll stroll over to the Taj Mahal. Usual table. Cheers.
Toby! You said you would keep our secret....well, you can bring your own step-ladder next time!
