Wow! Thanks for that Christer. I had forgotten about this thread.
We do have a database that Tim Murray has collected info for and I have on my computer.
We shall add you in.

I'm still here - mostly in 'lurking' mode... nice of you to have noticed...
btw I now officially spell my name with just one 's', and I had forgotten that Christer got stuck with that rather pretentious spelling of Bengt(h)...

Probably to escape endless repetitions of Bengt Axle/Bengt Dick jokes!

I think thay maybe I ought to do a bit of explaining here.
For the sake of newer members, this database was last amended on March 1st 2006. It was compiled through this thread and private messages sent to me by those interested enough to contribute. The reason it has not been touched since then is because of the new database that I mentioned above, which does not ask for favourites or first race attendances, but is FAR more thorough in that whereas my old list contains 222 names, the one that Tim has researched (with a little help from myself) is currently at 1,210 with a considerable number more to add, I believe.
So if anyone else wishes to make themselves better known, don't worry about the two facts mentioned in the above paragraph, but let us know, if you are willing to divulge it, when and where you were born and where you now live, if it is somewhere else.
Private messages can be sent and in those cases, obviously, privacy will be respected.

Yeahh, I had more than one nickname before I started to do things professionally. I had the idea it would be interesting to revive this thread.

Well, where did this come from? I have been around officially since 2004 (unofficially since the 90s sometime), don't recall seeing anything.
I presume you have sufficient from my profile, happy to provide more.
You can access my name from site records? Ah well, in for a penny, in for a pound

First race? Oran Park or Headquarters, mid 60s I guess, maybe a Tasman round?.
