The Canberra rally community said good bye to one of its young members yesterday. The funeral service for the Late Nathan Walker who was killed in a 2 car accident while returning home from the Captains Flat Rally (round 1 of the ACT championships and NSW Championship round) with his dad Stuart and mum Linda. All three are CAMS officials and are keen local rally volunteers.

 

Nathan was 13 and was looking forward to his 14th Birthday so he could start driving in Khanacross events and was a keen rally fan. The local rally clubs all but stopped Canberra traffic as the funeral cortege of family and rally cars left Kingston for Norwood Park. After the garden service Nathan was taken to the Norwood Park chapel through a guard of honor of rally cars and his school mates. Neal Bates also attended the service and his Corolla was in the guard of honor as well.

 

Our hearts go out to Stuart, Linda and Jason at this sad time.

 

Rest In Peace Nathan.

RIP :y:

 

I was wondering what all the rally cars were doing yesterday.

A great tragedy, the reverberations of which are being felt around the country.
