Roly Richardson

Roly Richardson's family had been around speedway and speedcar racing for quite a long time. Infact Roly was taken to Claremont speedway by his father when he was around 6 weeks old and put on the back window ledge in his farthers a model ford. Roly became a signwriter and was always busy signwiting cars. Roly also helped out with Mike Prendgas number 8 speedcar. Roly managed to get a few drives at country tracks. Roly drove the Wally Harris car after Wally got his legs burnt with boiling water , that lasted for a few weeks. Around this time Laurie Mathews and a few others had a shed they hired in Osborne park and I started to build the car there as he was living at his mothers place and there was not much room there to build a speed car. Roly went to work at Goldsworthy mine in port headland to make some money and after a year there come home and brought a new HK monaro and finished the speedcar. He didn't have a lot of success with it as the 149 motor was very prone to run out of oil, with all the oil ending up in the rocker cover not in the sump and he had made the drive shaft to light and it broke a few times till he figured it out and after this and not having much money he had to give the speedway that he missed but as you can see from the photos the car is well on the way back to together
