Haird Motorsport – Quietly Getting on With It
Last time Short Circuit caught up with the Haird family was a couple of years ago, when Haird Motorsport was just starting out and David Haird was doing his utmost to promote the Nationals on Sky TV. Two years on and after an impressive stand at the NEC with the BMW Z4, a new 2 Litre and two new National Hot Rods, Martin Kingston visited the Haird Motorsport base in Cambridgeshire to see how things were progressing.

Alan has handed over the rights and the promotion of the series to a joint partnership of ex grass racer Steve Stanford #22 from the Midlands and 2007 rookie racer Mark Webb #77 from Kent.
