Very close, but the name is not quite right. LOCKED for you.

'Dave' is correct. It's the last name that's a bit different.

I've done more searching and found a racing entry list with the last name as "Skilling." At this point, I'm not sure which source is correct, so I'll give you the point. :thumbsup:

The German book is full of errors, so I would rather trust the old racing programme.
