Cover Photo: Bring 'em up right. The Chairman's elder daughter Helen
           sitting on Tony Wright's Venom racer at Cadwell Park.
           Taken in the mid 1980's, the bike eventually grew into the
           infamous "Millennium Venom". Helen is now a historian and
           an expert on the non-conformist Christian religions.
