John Osborne

[Nick Slade]

My early childhood memories are bought back to me today, thinking of going to the track with my dad and Watching John and My Dad and Trevor Crowe and many other locals race. I still remember him up at the fence to our Garage area at surfers paradise race when I was working for one of the Indy car teams and the big smile he had on his face and how thrilled he was for me. I kept in contact with him in recent years through emails and a few visits in Australia and N.Z. I am very saddened by the news. John was a legend, a great Guy and a true racer, he will be missed by all of us that knew him
