You guys have probably wondered where my love of racing came from seeing as I'm South African and living in Johannesburg.
I grew up about 200 yards away from the Wembley Stadium and Ice Rink.
You couldn't live any closer. I had two football fields between my back yard and my inspiration.
During the day the gate to the track was open and I spent hours in the stadium looking at the cars.
There was always something going on especially on Friday afternoons. Guys would test their sprint cars before the night races.
I only saw one race meeting with my dad when I was about 9 and it took weeks of begging. He wasn't into racing but my persistence paid off.
I was hooked and all I dreamed of for years was driving a sprint car. That never happened.
I found some black and white photos of the track and it brought back great memories. My beloved Ice Rink can be seen in the background.
