West Aust 26 April 2015-Syd Swepstone
« on: April 27, 2015, 10:20:50 pm »
RIP - Syd Swepstone
Sadly, the club has received unfortunate news regarding one of our past members, Syd Swepstone. In a tragic competition accident Syd has lost his life doing what he loved while racing at Beverley this weekend. Many of our members will remember many a close race with Syd who was always leading the pack. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Tracy and family at this time.

VMXWA Rider#30 ~~ An all round nice guy, always stops for a catch up whenever he and Tracy are at Dandaloo Park Narrogin or other bike event.
Will be sadly missed by many. Gone too young. RIP Syd Swepstone ~ A grader.

I was really upset to hear the news - was a nice guy and always had time to talk to us "also rans".  Was very fast and a pleasure to watch.

Sorry to hear you are gone Syd.
