TEAM WILSON
HOVERCRAFT RACING

The Team

Fred Wilson
Started racing in 1989 and still going ( but perhaps a bit slower !! )

1988
Haverhill Rugby Club
Test run of first craft
Air cooled 250 Suzuki (23bhp)
Splitter plate to low, and needs a bit more power

May 1989
First race at Stanford Hall
Now fitted with a RD 250yam (30bhp)
Finished the weekend in 1st place

2000
World Cup Event
Claydon House, Buckinghamshire, UK
Because I haven't raced regularly for some time I raced in F3 novice
Finished 1st for the weekend but more importantly
I re-qualified back to F3
This is now the 5th craft I have built

2001
Claydon House, Buckinghamshire, UK
Note the new exhausts, they don't obstruct the air flow to the duct,
and look dam good, even if I do say so myself,
well worth the work,
I finished 2001 in ninth place, so for 2002 my number is
109

Daniel Wilson
Raced in juniors in 1991/92

1992

The number shows Dan finished the previous (first) year in 4th place

At the beginning of the year Wayne and Glenn raced in juniors as a team

His first race with the adults was an International meeting

No not racing, but Glenn's first solo in a hovercraft

1999
International Event

A well deserved National and International Champion for the weekend
