Very sad to hear that Carl Drever passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. Carls involment with speedway includes being a speedway nz official, and in later years a car owner along with son Aaron, some very notable drivers running for Drever motorsports included Tracy Hines and Rico Abreu, a highlight for Carl was when their car won this seasons 50 lap classic at the springs.
Rest in peace buddy you will be remembered .

I'll post this video here. One of Carl's most famous moments, his relegation of Sleepy Tripp in the 1984/85 World Midget 30 Lap Derby!!
