Mentioned in Passing

Post by Milan Fistonic »

A couple of names have appeared in the papers lately that could be former racing drivers.

Wayne Wilkinson died on the 12th of April and Des Radonich on the 17th of April.

Is anyone able to confirm they are in fact the men who graced our races tracks in the past.

Don't think it was the motor racing Wayne Wilkinson - he is Wayne Robert Wilkinson and the one who died is Wayne Brian Wilkinson.
