Sad to see Ray retire, the amount of work he does behind the scenes to put on the 'show' is incredible. Looking forward to welcoming him back to grass roots level motor sport here in Vic, might see him back in a scrutineering uniform before too long

Huh?
Isn't Damian White Ops Manager & Ray Assistant Ops Manager? Best wishes to Ray - the gig doesn't really stop & it would tire you out - he's been doing it a long time and I have no doubt that although he'll miss it, it'll be good to get more time to himself. |

Hence my use of the word 'old' in my post.

Had the pleasure of dealing with Ray when he had a similar role with the GT Production series and then again with V8s. Absolute gentleman and a real motorsport man through and through.
He is most definitely a big loss to V8 Supercars. Wish him the best of luck in the future. |

I've know Ray since before he started with the V8 series and although the V8 series tied him up most days he still appears at speedway events in the off season for a look and hopefully this will allow him to get to more grass roots level events where his years of experience can be passed on to the younger scrutineers out there.
His memoirs would make interesting reading in a few years time about some of the technical stuff he was party to at the various teams involved in the series. |

Geeze Uncle I didn't see you hiding in the car driving home from Winton??
Your suggestion has some merit though. |
