Todd Crooks
BMW Mini Cooper SAs an 18 year old sixth former Todd spends a lot of time in a classroom, but that's not to say he's missed out on any vital track experience necessary for competing in the Super National category - in fact he's been on track from the age of 8 starting with karts. His rallycross debut came in 2010 with an entry into the Junior Minicross category, where he finished 2nd in the overall championship, before moving up to the Senior Minicross category for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, where he finished as a runner up and then 2nd behind Richard Wakeling. The new car will hopefully bring him the podium finish he's searching for.

2009 BTRDA Supermodified Champion
I am as old as the hills having started in autocross in 1969 or 1970, can't remember which! I did quite well the first year the BTRDA took over the National Autocross Championship from Players No 6 in 1972 then started to rallycross seriously in 1973 both in the UK and throughout Europe and ran what I believe to be the first ever professional rallycross team in the UK based on the European model with the Bose Hi Fi Team for myself and the late Dick Griffiths. I came 8th in the first BTRDA National Rallycross Championship in 1977 and 32 years later won the Supernational class and came second overall in the 2009 BTRDA Rallycross Championship. It is true to say that I have had quite a long involvement in the sport and have every intention to be at the BTRDA meeting at Croft in November this year. Now semi-retired I am an engine builder specialising mainly in Honda engines but still find the time to build and re-build the odd car. Check out: www.wessexracing.com

Barry Dutton
2000cc Renault Megane CoupeI started in motorsport in the early 1980s racing in Autograss and winning a number of club titles. Having a young family at that time meant money was tight so Autograss went on hold until the mid to late 90s.
But rallycross was the sport I’d always wanted to have a go at and after a friend told me “it’s no good sitting in that old folks home wishing you’d done it” so I decided to have a go. In 2010 I bought my Megane F7R 2.0 16v and built it to the safety regulations, but apart from that it’s a standard car. Towards the end of 2010 I did my first rallycross at Pembrey and loved every minute of it, not just the racing but the social side that comes with it.
In 2012 I won the modified 2000 class. So all I can say to anyone is as Richard Hammond said on Top Gear. I urge you get yourself a racing licence, get yourself some cheap wheels and give it a go.
