It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Maurice Phipps this past weekend. Maurice had been a long-time follower of Stock Car racing having attended the very first meeting at Foxhall Stadium in the 50’s and last attended Foxhall at the 1600 Banger World Championship only a fortnight ago.

Not just a spectator, Maurice was also involved with the smooth running at race events, firstly as a flag marshal at the long defunct Peasenhall dirt track and then as a pit marshal and pit access gate marshal at Foxhall and Gt Yarmouth until he retired around 10 years ago. He was still a familiar face around the raceways and will be missed by many who knew him and our condolences go out to his family and friends at this sad time.
