Alan Keith
Team manager
Alan Keith
Team manager Keith is no stranger to Knockhill, of course, and the Montrose garage owner is a fine racer in his own right. "I raced for about 25 years and only started running cars in 2004," says Keith. "I started off driving Mk2 Ford Escorts back in the 1980s and raced mainly at Knockhill, particularly in the Fiesta XR2s. I think I could go round Knockhill blindfold in an XR2. But Ingliston was still going when I started and if you raced at Ingliston, you raced anywhere."
Tommy Dreelan
Team Principal
Irish born Tommy has been based in Aberdeen for many years, so the name ‘Celtic Speed’ was an ideal choice for him.
He competed in the British Carrera Cup Series 2008 – 2011.
Tommy now competes in Group C Series and F1 Historics.
