World Series Sprintcars Warriors To Honour The Magic Man
Monday, 30 October 2006

 

All drivers competing in the Western Swing of the 20th Proton World Series Sprintcars Championship on November 8 at Kalgoorlie International Speedway and on November 10/11 at the Perth Motorplex will tribute the late Michael Figliomeni by carrying a special decal on their racecars in honour of the “Magic Man”.

Michael tragically passed away last Saturday night, just minutes after he showed the fans at the Perth Motorplex how awesome his new Speedcar was and how much talent he still had to burn.

“It’s a tragedy for Michael’s family, his friends and the sport of Speedway,” said a shocked Max Dumesny on Sunday afternoon in Sydney, “he was an incredible racecar driver and above all else a really good bloke. He’ll be sadly missed.”

A phone call from World Series Sprintcars to David Challons from Camden Neon Signs in Tullamarine Victoria Sunday afternoon after the discussion with Max Dumesny had the suggested artwork being designed first thing this morning and just after noon today the six suggested layouts were scaled down to one.

The decal will be provided to all teams who nominate for the 2006/2007 Proton World Series Sprintcars Western Swing and will be proudly worn in honour of a unique and wonderful West Aussie who wowed race fans and rivals alike with his awesome racing talent and always later his gentle human nature.

Thanks to David Challons and Camden Neon Signs for assisting with this special project.
