Vintage Road Racing Association

We heard that long time racer and supporter of the VRRA, Scott Martin, passed away. He raced number 426 for years but switched to number 6 when his son Simon joined the club and wanted his dad’s number. That's just one small example of the unselfish nature of Scott. We send sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Any details re: donations, etc.?

Scott will be missed...very sad news.

Scott and I started racing at the same time (98') and I believe we may have taken the same race school together. He was a large imposing figure when I first met him but as I got to know him he turned out to be a warm and compassionate individual. Some 10 years ago he built a wonderful Honda CB 1100R replica race bike . He hadn't raced with us for a number of years and I was hoping to see him come back out soon. Last time I saw him was approx 6 years ago during Xmas when a small group of us met in Milton for lunch and to bench race. To say I am surprised and shocked to hear of his passing is an understatement. He was a really great man and I will miss him dearly.
