In the early 80's Nelson Kruschandl was approached by Jamie Tones to form a team for a race at the Arlington Speedway racing circuit near Eastbourne in East Sussex.  Stewart Angel and Rick Bowell volunteered to mechanic for Nelson and help convert a poorly Morris Marina to pass scrutineering as seen by their artwork on the rear flank of the vehicle.

The Team Barbarians entered two vehicles Jamie driving a Ford Escort, Nelson the Morris Marina 1300 pictured above.  Nelson finished his first race in sixth place (i.e. only six cars were running when the race ended).  Jamie was wiped out when his Escort was crushed in a multi vehicle pile-up.  In his second race Nelson having come to terms with the slippery dirt track, got a bit over enthusiastic charging into the back of an Austin Cambridge, in doing so snapping a steering tie rod.  This abruptly ended his banger racing career when he couldn't locate spares or secure transportation in time for the next event.  However, it was a fun (if expensive) outing much enjoyed by all.
