Irish motorsport was hit by more tragedy on Sunday following the death of Dick
Bailey during the Wexford Hillclimb weekend in Inistioge.
Dick, who was married and in his forties, died in a crash during Sunday's
compeition.
A native of New Ross, he had finished sixth in the previous day's event.
Sunday's competition was immediately cancelled as a mark of respect.
Wexford Motor Club wishes to extend its sympathy to Dick's family.
May he rest in peace.
Dick Bailey - An appreciation by John Dier
In the twenty years that I have been involved in Motorsport and in Wexford motor club in particular, there are people that have come and gone. There are also those that have come and stayed and there are those that were there and and have no intention of ever leaving. Dick was one of these. Dick was there or there abouts when I took part in the 1982 Wexford rally as a raw 19 year old. He was competing in those days ably assisted by his long time sidekick, Liam Cuddihy. It is ironic that Liam was the clerk of the course on Sunday. A lot of people will remember the two of them in the LCD sponsored Metro 6R4 in its green colours.
