Steve WICKS and an American journalist, Ken
JOHNSON, were lucky to survive a serious car accident on Sunday
morning, 19 November 2006 after the ROTAX World Final in Portugal.
Steve has been a motor racing enthusiast all his life and
has a particular passion for karting. He has followed the
ROTAX MAX Challenge around the world in recent years as well
as always covering regional and national kart racing in his
SA Racer and other publications.
Steve has made good progress and was released from hospital
yesterday (27 November 2006). His son Richard has been with
him since Wednesday, 22 November 2006 when the last members
of SA Team left Portugal.
Many thanks to Joy and Wally Dolinschek who helped with the
red tape and caring for Steve. To Richard and Steve's many
friends and well wishers thanks for your thoughts and support.
Steve will be arriving back in South Africa tomorrow (Wednesday,
29 November 2006) on Iberia Flight number IB6051 at 11h35.
It would be nice to see some motorsport enthusiasts there
to welcome him back.
