Our thoughts are with the family at this sad time.
In my younger days I have very fond memories of getting hit by flying dirt, smelling racing fuel, drinking Double R at the speedway.
Remember once going up our single driveway with Mr Archbold at the wheel of his Ford Falcon taking the bend at 50km/hr just stopping outside our front door. Pretty mean feat considering that the lampost and front fence remained in tact.
Rest in peace Mr Archbold
