Mark Burrows passes,,
It is with a heavy heart that i say me best mate and fellow landspeed racer "Mark Burrows" (DLRA #587) passed away this morning in the Mackay Base Hospital, he had been diagonised with Pantric Cancer back in August,,
Mark ran a little special construction BSA in APS/VG350 class, some may remember the little blue faired lay down bike powered by a single flathead motor (sorry, cant remember the motors designation/type), had a best speed of 77.532mph,, over the last cuppla months he had continued working on the BSA in antipation that he might get another run outta it, a racer to the end,, Gods Speed mate,,,,
