no idea who they are ...
bossio only ever raced for a buzz once i think.. and maybe took a car out once or twice after that- nothing ever serious.. still around causing mayhem.
dannys haw dissapears for time then reappears.. dont know if hell ever race again- certainly not seriously- maybe a one off.

romeo has gone back to canada.
al morphet has his own milk round business in ulverston.
potter is still working for steels removals and getting well wrecked every weekend. still pops down.
dinger is fully retired since he got injured in a bluey a few years back, still goes down the mill and to meetings. is usually round taffys garage.

i dont honestly think any of them would race again with the exception of potter migh take someones car out at a meeting for a dd etc. but let them prove me wrong. potter demo and dinger still watch time to time.

potter did eden the other week,he was going to do hedno but musn't of got the car finished

Hopefully someone can answer this one...

where's 2 Richard Ball, was a very competative Mini Stox driver at Roosecote and he would let me help him with his car in the pits when I was just a young lad. I think I may have seen him race at Warton once in Bangers, but it was many years ago.

Very distinctive Mini Stox, Red - Number 2.

I remember that lad very well as we used to watch him as a hot prospect for the future. He raced at warton also in mini's and did juniors at warton,i remember that very well as he had a huge roll on the back straight.Last i seen of him was racing in the Bomber 15 on 15 at barrow in 2001 where he won the DD (i think)

Getting on to where he may be now,i have seen a richard ball booked in to race an F2 at barford once although whether its the same 1 i don't know,perhaps he moved on to the F2's??? shall keep an eye out for his name again and get his new number so we can find out if its the same driver.

LMAO no Deek,serious and real person,good observation though.

and lol James remember some other star mini drivers that we don't see anything of these days? 116 Chris Turner (Not the same person as 39 houdini i don't think) 8 Andrew Molloy,6 Andrew Fisher (Believe he's mates with the bong gang etc now) 209 Scott Wagstaff and 101 James Hayhurst (Warton stock car driver now)

EDIT - After talking to my mam she reckons she saw a car with Richard ball on it at warton at the weekend,shall get on some F2 sites and check.
