Belle Vue 1982 - my first world final - in total darkness, gentlemen start your engines, searchlights on the cars and the whole stadium shook as 32 v8's fired up.
One of life's fantastic experiences.

Oh Tim - that takes me back, I was working for Bammy then and was on lights that night (I was the one in the box at back of home straight that used to get shouted at if the stand lights didn't come straight up as the chequered dropped lol) - we were all a little nervous in case the main floods wouldnt come back on, they had a habit of being tempremental at times.
Luckly they did and it all went smooth - what an atmosphere that was that night, still sends a tingle down my spine when I think of it Very Happy
