Once again, the world of racing is in mourning of the tragic events of Saturday night's Mildenhall meeting, where sadly, Saloon Stock Car driver Steve Newman (311) lost his life during the British Championship final.
Some excellent tributes have been given by his home promotions Trackstar and RDC, and my memories of him are giving it balls and all at my local tracks. A real gutsy driver.
It's times like this that the racing community proves itself. In times of adversity, and like Dave Weare (78) the banger driver that was killed last year at Hednesford, the community rallies round.
The big idea is to make every meeting from now until the Speedweekend at the end of month a tribute to Steve, with his trademark yellow bumper adorning many cars up and down the land, in various formulae. Fans have been asked to wear pink on the Saturday of the Skeggy jamboree as a tribute to him.
His widow Kelly has been incredibly strong and all of the community will be making sure that the support is there if and when she needs it.
We here at the StoxBlog pass on our condolences to his friends and family, at this awful time.
So long Steve. Race in peace, friend.
