Earlier today saw the passing on of Gordon Leonard a long time Hawkes Bay Speedway Icon, many a time Linz saw Gordon racing his 49hb stockcar in the bay. Gordon was one of the Hawkes Bay team on numerous occasions stirring things up and generally being entertaining for the crowd, later becoming the Scrutineer at Meeanee Speedway. To Gordon's Family and many friends we send our deepest sympathy at this time of loss. R I P Gordon Warmest Regards Linz, Sue,Yaz & Dan in Auckland & Angie in Tauranga.

To Ross and family
Sad to hear about Gordon, sincere condolences to your family. Was always good to catch up with him when traveling down from Gisborne in the 70s and 80s.
