Andy Hartwell

Andy - At Hednesford last season
"I got involved in racing at 17, helping a couple of friends prepare bangers. Our activities resulted in the Taskforce Banger Team and, during this time, I occasionally got a seat myself in Austin 3 litres, Cambridges and Wolseley 1500's.

We moved on from bangers and started stock rod racing for a short period. I then moved on to karting, racing in the 100cc Britain class.

After a period of time away from racing, I couldn't get rid of the
racing bug and began "rebel" racing. I started my own business in
2005 and found myself in a position to continue racing and so I
leased a "legend" from R.C.D. This was a great learning curve for me and gave me a real buzz. I decided to purchase a car at the end of the 2008 season and I have recently purchased Daz Lewis's 285 race car.

I have a great race team around me consisting of Paul, Karen, Stacey and Stuart who are invaluable in keeping the car on the track and also in making racing enjoyable which, I think, is the most important thing.

I would very much like to thank all our sponsors ahead of the 2009 season, take a look at the foot of the homepage for
their details and links to their websites".
