Very sad this morning to report the death of our friend Colin Gomm from cancer. He raced a few times in Intermarque Silhouettes driving his Mercedes. Colin had unfortunately been suffering from deteriorating health for a while. We offer our condolences to his family and friends.
He was better known for his exploits in National Hot Rods; here is a profile of Colin from the OVAL RACING EXPERIENCE 2016, NEC Birmingham, January 2016:
Colin Gomm – Mercedes SLK – England
Colin has been racing in the nationals for many years, racing a variety of different marques and never been afraid to try something a little out of the ordinary, and is a firm believer in the Mercedes SLK which he will be racing in the Live Action Arena. Like many he cut his teeth racing bangers and stock cars before a number of years in the 1600 and 2Ltr hot rods before moving into the nationals. Colin has been away from the ovals for a couple of years racing on the circuits however in July 2015 he made a welcome return to the Nationals at the Ipswich Spedeweekend support races and was back again for the Best in Britain at Wimbledon in November , a title which he has previously won twice. Colin is a keen fan of the live action arena and has raced in it many times and plans a full time return to the nationals for 2016.
