Vale: Russell Miller

announcement

It is with great sadness and some shock that we here at Melbourne Kart Centre report the passing of our valued customer and friend Russell Miller.

Russell was a regular competitor in the Clubman 040s class where he raced his number 68 Monaco GP5 kart. Although the details surrounding his death are still a little sketchy, Russell apparently collapsed in his motel room on Friday night whilst away racing at the Bendigo Power Series round held last weekend.

He had only been in our shop that very day picking up some tyres for the weekend and he was looking forward to having a go at a new track. You often hear stories of how great a person was after they go, but in Russell's case this was genuinely true! We never heard a complaint from him, he never argued with other competitors and was always happy to help out where he could.
 
The Oakleigh club will remember Russell this club day as racing goes on as usual and it will be a sad day on the grid with Russell's #68 kart not there. But we will all be there doing what we love, just as Russell would if he could.

Thanks for being a great customer and a top bloke Russell, we will miss your smiling face walking through the door at MKC.
