My fondest memories were sitting inside a car on a stinking hot day, sweating profusely, welding a roll cage.

Came up with a technique for changing electrodes that didnt buzz me.

Didnt help when after a tricky run I put the helmet up and electrode down to have a look.

Still have the scar on my leg where the electrode burnt in.

Burn and shock at same time.

Was beer time after that.

 

Cant remember his last name. But first name is Frank. He is a rather unforgettable character.

 

WIll have a think and see if I can remember him. Doesn't ring a bell if he is unforgettable. I've never been directly on EL1, only know a few members from up here.
