SHOCK NEWS FROM George Kimber
(The old man of British Slot Racing!

It is always hard to talk on the demise of a slotracer.This time no legend , certainly no Maresca ,no Trigilio,no Walker,not even a Limpach or Gick . But Georgie Formula One Kimber can be finally laid to his rest, for in Revuca it was for sure his final walk.

Since his start at Torino in 1980 he has always been streetfighting ,time & again he could rise to the highest Alps to victory lane. It was for certain that he could never count on the meagrest talents of a Horky or Saunders but he always carried his countries honour, Nine times out of ten he could not beat these slotracing Gods but as in Chicago he could prove his Lionheart, a true Englishman ,a man who could fight to the end ,even conjure up a miracle.
It could have been else for our Georgie, born on scrap heaps of Tyneside Shipbuilding in the neglected Industrial Wastelands of not so Great Britain. His only education was the streets but the chance sighting of racing cars in his local toy shop was to carve out his destiny.
Time after time he could leave his sceptred Isle and embrace a culture far removed from the British Goop laden traditions of no lane changes and lonely Saloons. But how to change a nation so entrenched in their sticky traditions.
But Georgie could finally convince at the UES Euro Cup in Middlesborough that his country could make the move.
It was always his proudest moment to stage the 1993 ISRA championships in his native Northeast with Limpach,Gick and a young Horky showing for the future.
It was no disgrace in Revuca,perhaps self inflicted technical problems but after eight days of Pork scratchings and Sheepsballs it was the end. No more venturing from these misty shores.
Time to hand over to the man who could save his country from the mediocrity . In Revuca Graeme Stephenson could show Britain has a future beyond a Saunders and a Cleave ,no one more fitting to carry on Georgies Legacy.
Time to say Goodbye,Time to take me to my slot racing Heaven and my Area Three Lexan Coffin
No more slotracing Darkside for my dear beloved wife.

Thank you all,Thank you Jean Pierre.
See you all in 2008 for my final dance .
