Megan Vallance will be in action this weekend in the Victorian Country Series
Introducing Junior driver MEGAN VALLANCE member of the Portland Kart Club. Megan who turns 13 next week has been racing for about 5 years since and has stepped up to Junior National Light this year. “Beraldo Coffee” and “Main Street Café Portland” are proud sponsors of the talented 12 year old.
Megan says she would like to be a paramedic when she grows up so she can drive fast and help people at the same time. Looking back at her racing career she remembers as a young Cadetdriver when the boy racers used to give the usual comments like “she’s a girl” but now the same boys come around and say “Hey Megan, can I help you with you kart, change the tyres etc;”
Look out for the #26 of Megan Vallance who will be competing in Junior National Light this weekend at Round 2 of the Victorian Country Series.
About the Colin DeVries Memorial
Colin DeVries was a valued member of the Portland District Kart Club who is remembered by all that met him as an all round good guy. His involvement in karting started through his youngest son Mark when he was in Juniors and progressed through to Clubman Light.
Throughout this time he was a AKA Steward both at Club and State level. He was always known for acting in this role with the utmost regard to fairness and the rules of the sport. Within the Club he was a valued member who was involved in all aspects of the Club from the Committee to working bees. His commitment always saw him recognised as a stalward of the Club. He was a loving husband to Sue, his best mate and partner in life and an outstanding father to all his children.
His life was dedicated to all his family both immediate and extended. We honour his memory with the Colin DeVries Memorial for Clubman Light and hope that all competitors will compete in a manner that would make him proud.
