I have been looking without much success for the qualifiers etc for the seasons still missing in regard to the Star Riders Championship. I will do my best to help the reserachers continue their valuable work much of which has been found in just a few months. It must at times be a thankless task for people like firstbendnutter, tungate and administrator but they seem to get there in the end. When the history section is completed this forum is going to be invaluable for researchers.

Thanks firstfire 212. As you say it becomes a task but the fact that my Dad decided to buy the Stenners Annuals and I decided to follow in his footsteps where books were concerned means it is just a case of me looking in the right place for the information. ........................................................We will get there in the end...............................................

When the history section is completed this forum is going to be invaluable for researchers. In the few days I've been on here I've learned quite a lot and everything seems to be getting towards its target although likely to take many more months. I really enjoy my visits here every so often to see whats online.
