Richard Pearson - Driver/Mechanic

A   lorry driver for a local recycling company Carlton Recycling   specialising in the collection of cardboard and paper in the lincolnshire area from business and education establishments.

Started racing in 2006 by competing in selected rounds of the MR2 Challenge, using a car prepared and run by Cheshire Racing. This provided me with the confirmation that i wanted to race, but the costs involved with hiring a car were beyond my budget for a full season. It was at the first MR2 meeting of the season where i became involved with the Locost series as while testing on the thursday Vicky in car #71 had   a fuel pipe come off and ignite causing severe fire damage to the wiring loom. So having met Vicky once before i along with others started the job of rewiring, and at half ten that night we had her car running again. Since then i've been spannering for vicky, and trying to teach her alittle about the mechanics of her car. (She's even taken the engine out herself now!) My final outing in 2006 was in a locost hired from Steve Baker, to take my place in a team for the Birkett Relay at silverstone alongside Gary Parkes, Vicky Pickles and Paul Presgraves. We all had a fantastic time and didn't shame ourselves by any means.

Julie Peason - Mum/General Support

Wasn't too keen on me racing, but is now offering full support and will be at most meetings during 2008.

Lee Mitchell - Mate/Runner/Chief Polisher

Lee's been coming racing with us since the end of last season and will be at most meetings this year.

Gary Parkes - Mechanic/Driver Coach

Gary's been racing in Stock Hatch and Locost for the last 8 years and is now an ARDS qualified instructer offering tuition at track days and race schools. 

 Carolyn - All round team member

Not actually been to any of my race's yet but has spent hours in the garage taking the mickey out of me (i mean helping of course). Although i might have to put a VW badge on the car somewhere to satisfy her passion.
