McGee Cams

In 1960 John Sherwood of Empire Speedway's brought a USAC Midget Driver to my Dad's shop in King's Cross, Sydney. The personable American driver would race out of our shop for the following decade. Aside from being fast and winning 50% of the races he entered, Bob's charisma made him a promoter's dream. As an enthusiastic kid helping, Bob would teach me so much about racing, and being highly decorated serviceman, life in general. In addition to his local success, with 7 World Derby triumphs, Bob had been a UARA and USAC Champion. Despite a short career he ranks 4th of all time for victories in the US. I was honored to race with him up until his final feature race victory in Australis. On the 52nd Anniversary of Bob' untimely passing due to cancer, the Royal Automobile Club in conjunction with the Vintage Speedcar Association of NSW, are having a memorial dinner in Bob's honor. As many of you know his widow Dee lost her home and all of Bob's memorabilia in a fire a few days before Christmas last year. I hope that everyone's generosity will help Dee as she rebuilds her house in Streater, IL

I’d like to thank Top Fuel Dragster driver Justin Ashley, for his kindness and thoughtfulness, for carrying decals in memory of Karen McGee on his racecar at Indianapolis.
We were honored on Saturday when he set a new speed record at 335mph during qualifying for the quickest field in history!
With one of the fastest and most consistent cars on the premises he posted a strong semi final finish in yesterday’s shootout, and after beating the best a semi final finish in today’s US Nationals.
Thank you Justin Ashley, Mike Green and Justin Covarrubius. What a class act!
