Heard the sad news today that Hughie Fergus has passed away after a lenghty illness.
I know not many on here will have heard of Hughie, but he raced stockcars for a season at Gloucester Park and for a while at Waikaraka Park in the early days. Hughie was also very involved in Rugby in a big way in the Auckland area.

RIP Mate.

Gavin Evitt. Attempting to preserve the history of speedway racing.

Yes very sad Gavin. I had a few beers with him in the Club Rugby season just gone. Hard to believe. But as you say he hasn't been in good health for a while.
He was very big the Waitakere Rugby Club in the Orewa Surf Life Saving Club also a member of the Historic Stock Car Club. Those reunions won't be the same.
