Vale Dallas Crane
I sadly heard today that Victorian HQ racing stalwart Dallas Crane, unfortunately succommed to cancer on Tuesday after a hard battle.
Many of you may remember the name, with Dallas and his familiar # 7 HQ, gracing both flat track & the Thunderdome, over a 20 year journey. More info on the HQ website. http://www.hqracingvic.org/ The only HQ racer to have a cool band named after him ![]() RIP Dallas. |

A shame he did not make it to see the event named after him at Winton next weekend (June 26/27). I'm sure all the competitors will all be racing hard in his memory. RIP Dallas.

I expect it may well be a bigger event that the 4 hr race, and rightly so, as respect for a true gentleman of the sport, and a dedicated clubman for the HQRA as well. |

Might have to crack out the wider angle lens to get the start shot then!

Will be missed by many but we have so many memories to remember him by when ever the HQ's take to the track. |
