Stan (Dad) Although now past his retirement age, Stan has only recently retired from racing. He retired as the reigning Southern Centre Vintage Champion, a title he has retained for many years, against some fierce competition. He still keeps very busy however, tuning and rebuilding JAP engines for vintage speedway and Coopers etc. Many of FVR's tuning "secrets" have been passed on by Stan, whose expertise has been the result of many years of experimental and development work. Pushing engines to their limits in pursuit of their "reliable" maximum.

Ross Everyone who saw Ross race during the 70's and 80's admired his natural ability to move around the bike at speed, searching for grip - a spectacular style that brought many successes.
Ross's natural abilities also extend to engineering where his fabrication skills now include some stunning works of art
