Allen Berg raced F1 briefly in the mid-80s, then raced in a variety of series (including a decade in Mexican F2) before returning to Calgary a few years ago. You can find the story here http://www.secalgarynews.com/featured/video-allen-berg-calgarys-forumla-1-race-driver-reminisces-about-his-professional-racing-career/

Enjoy!

There is a related story on his winter driving school in the Auto section of the site.

Allen Berg's school will be running at Race City all of 2009. It's been confirmed a while back. I've been thinking of doing his 2 day formula course for a while now, better do it before they lose race city for good.

TSN should hire this guy for F1 per/post race.

I've taken a private school from him at Race City using my own car. Didn't even know my car was capable of so much until I let one of his instructors get behind the wheel first. This guy knows his stuff. (Obvious) Got some cool stories too from back in the day racing with Senna and such.
