Motorsport has lost one of its champions

[Big Trev]

Sadly, Mick Ronke CEO of Winton Motor Raceway and Secretary of Benalla Auto Club passed away yesterday morning.

Very sad news indeed, best wishes to his 2 sons Matthew and Adam and the rest of his family and friends, he will be sadly missed by many including the wider motorsport community.

Mick had done more for motorsport than just about anyone else in Australia and was a huge champion of grass roots motorsport.

Mick was instrumental in the formation of AASA, he also instigated the purchase of Wakefield Park in Goulburn NSW on behalf of Benalla Auto Club

Some of you may have met Mick in your many travels to Winton
