VALE John Holliday A friend too many in our industry ‘John ‘Doc’ Holliday’ sadly passed away this July surrounded by his loving family. Our sincere condolences to Holly and family. I know many WA Transport Magazine readers have fond memories of John and I am grateful for knowing this kind-hearted gentleman who always made me feel like I was part of the CAT family. I first met John Holliday when John Bowe was driving the CAT Supercar. Imagine my excitement when John offered me a ‘hot lap’ with this iconic race driver and car. From there he introduced me to the Caterpillar Supertruck and Inky Tullock [for those of you not familiar - one of the world's best’ Supertruck drivers and champion in New Zealand). Another hot lap ensued and I was hooked on Truck Racing. With others in the CAT family, Truck Racing was reborn and how much fun did we have at meetings all over Australia. The best times though were here at Barbagallo Raceway. Those were the times. Farewell, my friend, ~ Karen-Maree’ Kaye. John Holliday in 2019. Thank you Sharon Middleton for image
One thing’s for sure though. I’ll always bleed yellow 2
