I know this is F1 not Aussie motorsport, but, where is Ayrton Senna buried?

-Anthony Robson
-Rod Salmon
-Angus Fogg (Still NZ tourers?)
-Craig Harris
-James Brock
-Andrew Miedeckie
-Andy McElrea
-Mick Donaher
-Layton Crambrook

-Craig Harris
-James Brock
-Andrew Miedeckie - Still floating around. Must have about half a century under his belt by now, but a consistent driver
-Andy McElrea - On the Gold Coast working for..... eludes me right now. Fast and deserving of a decent Development Series ride to re-launch a career that would see him a reasonably serious contender in the right team
-Mick Donaher
-Layton Crambrook

Hope this helps

**GTRMagic** · 2 Sep 2005, 22:12 (Ref:1397626)

I am led to believe Mr McElrea is an member of Mr Cruickshank's operation

Just Do It! · 2 Sep 2005, 22:17 (Ref:1397630)

Yes....thats correct. Mental block when you need it the least

-Layton Crambrook

Can still be found running around in HQ's, have read of his results in NSW and even competed in Darwin when the circus came up. The family business went wheels up, quite possibly due to every cent of income going to Leytons V8 drive, at cost to quite a few other businesses in Darwin and the family left town.

John Cotter -> Presumebly still working in law

Rod Salmon -> Last saw him winning the 2 Hour 'Showroom Showdown' support race for the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hours.

rdmdog · 4 Sep 2005, 00:51 (Ref:1398259)

John Cotter is now the Pres of the ARDC I believe,
Anth Robson operates a card shop in Bowral, (drop in if you are in the area),
Geoff Full
-Rod Salmon, Still serving drinks to the sports minded people in Sudney?
-Craig Harris, Selling cars in QLD, racing some of his historic collection of touring cars from time to time,
-James Brock, Will be interesting to see arter his mother and step father's split if he continues to drive,
-Andrew Miedeckie, selling Fords, Chryslers and Merc in Port Macquarie,
-Mick Donaher, Ultra Tune Miranda (Sydney)?

Razor · 4 Sep 2005, 01:17 (Ref:1398267)

Was Russell Ingall born in sunny Australia or the cold, wet UK?

racer69 · 4 Sep 2005, 01:23 (Ref:1398270)

cold, wet UK.

In London to be exact, sometime prior to 1964

Razor · 4 Sep 2005, 01:30 (Ref:1398277)

Well, people have been saying that Ingall was born in NSW. But I will tell those people he was born in the UK

Razor · 4 Sep 2005, 01:31 (Ref:1398278)

Double posted again, sorry everyone

Seton Fanatic · 4 Sep 2005, 01:52 (Ref:1398285)

From what I have gleaned, Bo Seton was involved with the Longhurst Castrol outfit between 1996 and 1999, when the operation shut down. After that, in 2000, I heard he was building engines for the Colourscan team. After that, retirement and historic racing appear to have been on the menu.

Ingall was born in London on February 24, 1964, although there is a conjecture about the birth date. He resided in South Australia in his youth, I think.

John Cotter is the president of the ARDC, and lives in Parramatta, I believe.

smokinJ · 4 Sep 2005, 12:31 (Ref:1398513)

aparantly a young Ingall terorised the back steets of Port Adelaide in a Holden panel van
where a lot of illegal drag racing went on at night between the wool sheds

I have met a few of his mates that said he was quite scarry behind the wheel
and yes he is a pom

Razor · 4 Sep 2005, 12:38 (Ref:1398525)

Well, if he was a Holden supporter in his youth and when he first started out in the V8's, why is he in a Ford?

smokinJ · 4 Sep 2005, 12:41 (Ref:1398527)

money

Razor · 4 Sep 2005, 12:48 (Ref:1398533)

I thought so. I think that the "Enforcer" will make up his own race team in a few years ahead from now, who will be the main sponsor, Castrol (if he goes back to Holden) or Caltex (if he stays with Ford)?

That's more than a little strange. Born in the UK, brought up in Adelaide, lived in Britatin, Germany and Japan while chasing open wheel honours, then raced for a Victorian and then a Queensland team upon returning to Australia.

No, no New South Wales in his life there at all.

Growling Ferret · 5 Sep 2005, 04:28 (Ref:1399184)

Rod Salmon was running a AMG Merc Coupe whale in the recent Duttons Rally when it came to Canberra...

He was big on rallying before V8 Supercars - I remember pushing a (when they were new) brand spanking EVO3 back on to the road after he missed a righthander in a NSW Rally champ round in Canberra. Shame the sump guard and sump were not attached to the car at the time...

Rod Donovan - Ran Donovan Ford in Southern Cross, his XC coupe was purchased by Mick Moylan who wrote it off.

Wayne Negus - Sometime HDT driver, think he owned a Shell servo in Bullcreak. Saw the shells of his L34 (the gold one) and A9X (MHDT colours) sitting around about 12 years ago, probably worth money nowadays.

Graeme Hooley - Probably still runs Hooley Auto Electrics in Greenwood.

Tim Slako - Still runs Slako Automotives in Osborne Park I believe.

Stuart Kostera - Think he runs a Dunlop outlet thats responsible for Dunlop racing tyres in Kalamunda. Have I see his son racing karts and/or FF?

Ron Lindau lives in Darwin I believe. Lucky to be living anywhere really after that horrific crash.

Rod Donovan unfortunately has passed away. He was taken by cancer in the late 90s.

Wayne Negus runs the Shell Service Station in Dalkeith. He is also President of the Capricorn Society.

Graeme Hooleys Auto Electrics is now in Joondalup I believe. Certainly isn't in Canham Way in Greenwood anymore.

Tim Slako runs West Racing Motor Development in Osborne Park.

Stuart Kostera (snr) owns a bus service (Kalamunda Bus Service) as well as Kostera's Tyre Service in Kalamunda.

Other West Aussie drivers from the old days who have 'left the building' so to speak are Graeme Ashdown (killed in a road accident in 1990), Ian Diffen (heart attack in 2003), Noel Pratt, Mike Mettam, Dick Murphy and also Mike George. I am sure there are unfortunately many more who are no longer with us, but I am out of memory at the moment.

If you have ever seen pictures of that falcon of Lindaus you can understand why he is a lucky man to still be walking this earth.maybe the only guy to technicly die a wannaroo since the place was built <cars wise may bikers have never gone home>

Makes me cringe when I look at the photos like when karl riendler went up and over because of contact in his vee. maybe the only guy to technicly die a wannaroo since the place was built <cars wise may bikers have never gone home>
