John Mills - 50 years and counting...

Next month's Karting Magazine, which is due out on 8 July 2009 (August edition), is likely to have an interview with John Mills, the head man at John Mills Racing based at PF International.

Pictured with is wife Sheila (as shown in pic), John, now thankfully on the mend after an illness earlier this year, and his family team, celebrate 50 years in the karting business in 2009, which is an extremely commendable achievement, especially in what can be the fickle sport of motor-racing.

His brother Roger, who competed for the British Team with former top karter Paul Fletcher back in the 1960's, helped me with the article, and I am grateful to both John and Roger, not to mention the many members of this family run business, for the help given to me with this story.

Here's to the next 50 years guys... Cheers!
