After a racing accident which killed there son, mark has won the Nz champs, 1 year ago today the family had to said good bye for the last time to son Andrew, Which must have been the hardest thing for any father & mother to do,
With the support of his wife gave a emotional speech, not a dry eye in the place,
Well done to all the Edwards Family and all involved.

I have been txting the family I know. I have been thinking of the family during xmas, new year when they had the champs meet at BP.
The results from Huntly has come from the heart. Mark was racing for Andrew and it's like a fairytail ending, close to anniversary. Things happen for reason amd I hope this is one of them. I hope the Edwards clan celebrate the victory and the memory.
Take care guys

A truly deserving champion.
I've uploaded one of the two victory speeches - this one from the clubrooms.
I should hopefully have the infield speech up tomorrow night but I need to work on the sound on that one...
Congratulations to Mark and to the Edwards family on a wonderful change of fortune.

I think everyone has said it already but congrats Mark and Famliy. Mark you came into my work a couple of years ago and you will never know the impact you have had in my dark times. You and your famliy have been an insapration to me to get on with life and get out there and do it. Mark you are a true champion and the best of luck in the future. I always enjoy our chats at the track and i will catch up with you in the nearfuture. Regards
Brett Perini

The infield presentation to Mark Edwards is now up.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house - and a big thumbs up to Mintie for this one too. Filming this was a privilege, not a job.

Thanks Eddie, we couldnt be there to watch Mark win but i do believe Andrew had something to do with it. It was meant to rain sat night, cause sunday was the 11th, and racing wasnt to start at 4pm, cause 1pm was better, the time the funeral started.  Well done Mark and team, i do believe we have a true, well deserving champion. All the best for the future. Matt Fergusson Modified 666R. |
