Since the passing of Speedcar master The Magic Man Michael Figliomeni the West Australian Speedcar Drivers Association (WASDA) Michael’s home Club have been committed to raising money to assist his family, as part of that commitment to support his wife Valerie and son Tyler a number of initiatives were undertaken including the Michael Figliomeni tribute night (conducted early in the season) and the selling of armbands, shirts and photos. There were a number of hard working Club members led by Club secretary Mel Fleming and the social committee that worked tirelessly to bring it all together.

Since the fundraising began over $17,000 has been raised which is expected to rise even further in the coming months.

Recently a cheque for $17,039.10 was presented to Frank Figliomeni (Michaels father) by Club president Phil Moore at the Perth Motorplex. “It’s been a very hard season for us all and we will continue to support the family in any way we can” said an emotional Moore.

Upon receiving the cheque Frank was overwhelmed by the generosity shown and he choked up with tears as he took possession of it.

“ I just can’t thank the Club enough this is amazing the money will go to Valerie for Tylers future years to come” said an overjoyed and emotional Figliomeni.
