Ian, as you said in your PM, it's Tony Croft one of my old drivers. We were one of the youngest F2 teams around at the time both of us were 18. Tony's racing career was ruined really in 86/87 when we crashed entering Clearway's hitting Dave Carnell/Peachey who had spun in front of us. Tony was run over by Judd Drew. Tony's back was broken and was paralysed for about 2 weeks if I remember rightly. The following year Tony's dad Roger sponsored Jimmy Webb and myself on the bike before Jimmy had a garage fire which damaged thew bike. It was shortly after this that I started riding with Gary Golder.

Tony's first bike was Cliff Pritchards F2 that was replaced later by Joe Shelbourne's own F2.
