Shane Walker

pr2

 

Originally started out as a nitro racer with a whole number of different cars before taking up electric and joining the Gloucester club and buying a Schumacher mission, Shane has stuck with the brand over the years and now drives a Schumacher Mi3, Shane’s race history shadows Judy his daughters who he supports and the pair travel and compete races together, like Judy Shane is contesting BTCC and BRCA nationals this year.

 

Shane has shaken off the reputation as the clubs “track destroyer” and would be the first to admit his priorities are supporting Judy but most of all enjoying his racing, a driver that always has a smile on his face what ever the result might be.
