Theres a post on the HAMB stating that the funeral for Oz drag racing legend Eddie Thomas was held last Friday, he was 99yrs of age..........I am surprised I haven't seen any mention of this on Ozrodders..........RIP Mr Thomas...........andyd

We travelled down to Melbourne for Eddies funeral , a very nice cheerful service [ if you can have one ]with funny eulogies from Fizz-ball Collins & Dave Bennett . Lots of people with drag racing , speedway & speedshop backgrounds, I caught up with people I havent seen for 40 years a very nice day for a great man .RIP Eddie ...
