Sad Announcement
It is yet another sad time for all
of us at Rebels, and each and every driver we have ever had over the
last 18 years to say good bye to a Rebel Stalwart and keen supporter.
Bev Greenhalf passed away on Tuesday evening 10th of January.
Bev was a big supporter of our cars from the off, and he together with
very few others had the vision of what we have become today, His
enthusiasm helped us to grow with his unwavering support and trust of
the promoters.
It is most likely that each and every one of the hundreds of drivers we
have had in our cars including hirers have had their name mentioned
during his commentaries of the on track action, he was always
particular to mention each driver somewhere and somehow during a
meeting, such was his professionalism.
Bev also enjoyed our social side and was present at many of our famous
award nights.
Rebels will honour the passing of such an oval racing fanatic in some
way in the near future and I will pass on our condolences to his widow
and daughter.

2011 World Champion
- Steve Shaw
After a lot of
thought my family and I have made the huge decision to retire
from
Rebels Racing. It was a difficult decision as we have had an enjoyable
time
over then 11 yeas racing and had lots of success. We have met a lot of
friends
during our time in Rebels and it has been a pleasure racing with you
all. However,
times change and before its too late I would like to have a go at
racing
another formula. I would like to say
thank you to Bev at BJS Motors, for all of his help over the years, he
is a
true friend along with his son Dave (Did). Thanks also to Hans for the
great
years of racing, I don’t think he understands how he has made so
many peoples
dreams come true, good luck to the man who has bought my car (he has a
lot to
live up to!!!) I am sure he is going to do well. See you at the
presentation
evening…361.
We
are sure all of the drivers will join with us in wishing
Steve success in his new venture. It goes without saying that Steve and his Team
have been great ambassadors for the sport and will be missed. Good Luck
Steve.
