Brisca F1 Stockcar Racing. RIP Stuart Smith 391/1

[BudgieV8]

To all who follow Brisca F1 Stockcar Racing there is sad news surrounding the sport.

The original 'SuperStu' has passed away on December 23 2010.

'The Maestro', 'Wildcat' , 'The '1' and only' (before the cr*p record!)... All names which got me travelling to Hartlepool or Aycliffe (my local tracks then) & nationwide, to watch the car sponsored by Transflash, Hertz, Keith Davids etc

Dad took me to Hartlepool @1979 when I was 12 & I became a 'Smithy 391' fan (as opposed to Wainman 212).

Stuart brought the sport onwards with technical innovation & development - always looking for a better way to gain speed & results, but developing safety within this

- but he was also always the crowd-pleaser with his car design, paint-schemes, driving ability & genuine charm, backed up by his appearance on 'Gears & Tears'.

- 497 Feature Final wins plus 3 dead heats, Six World titles, 13 National

Points Championships, 3 British Championships and 3 European Championships -

gotta respect the man!

 

Genuine true F1 Stockcar driver & Legend!

 

Respect to 'SuperStu' - You are the '1 & only'!

Condolences & respects to Andy, Stuart Jnr & the Smith family.

 

The Maestro will always be with us at that last turn going for the line...........
