Steve Aaron Memorial |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
To many of the long running members of the
Superkart Club of NSW and others within the sport of superkarting, the
brilliance of Steve Aaron was always evident. Steve had a natural ability
to drive any circuit and more often than not came away with a win. He won
many titles within the sport including various state titles within
Australia in his 125 gearbox and he raced his 80cc in the world titles in
Hong Kong. For his achievements he received an award from Suzuki in Japan.
During his time he developed many friendships and earned the respect and
admiration of his fellow competitors.
To everyone it was evident that he had a bright future in racing. He needed to complete only the NSW event to become the national champion. He was about to test for a drive with Alan Moffat and Alan Grice, both big names of the era. Sadly, he was unable to attend the NSW event or the test drive as he tragically passed away as a result of an accident during a practice session at Amaroo Park in 1979. He was 19 years of age. A brilliant future cut terribly short.
