Great to hear that there is a benfit going on for Ray.

I only met Ray over last 12mth when he would drop in to LRRCC on his way to work on a Sunday morning and then more recently watching him as an entrant at our SWEEP Cup event.

His Laugh and Smile was infectious and made everyone around him remeber why we Race RC - Because its a chance to catch up with good mate and have FUN....

RIP RAY, I will definitley try to come down and watch this event.

Count me in for sure, a great guy, and a great cause.
As an old school racer, its great to hear people regale positive memories of Ray, i had no idea how many people he had mentored to get into racing, especially in my personal venue Windsor. We can all learn from his efforts.
Best wishes to the Wallace family.
