It is with sadness that we announce the untimely death of a long time member, Sorted.
Rosco was a great supporter of this forum and especially our Drag Nats and it's a great loss to this community at only 49 years of age. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Rosco was great, his skills at tetris to organise the cars at GAFD were excellent.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences to family and friends.

Such a loss from our community, always a solid supporter of AFF Heathcote where I'd met him multiple times, always made sure you got your AFF Heathcote merchandise and such a friendly bloke.
Condolences. |

I have been mates with Ross for 20 years, I'm happy to say he got what he wanted from his love of Ford's.
Posthumously Ross's car "pro EF" has just been finished and has hit over the 210 rwkw N/A . His build and dyno clips will be released in a few days.
