Here’s an inspiring story for you.
Ray Beckerley is a resident at Homestyle Aged Care Clarendon Grange in Bayswater, 27km east of Melbourne’s CBD. He also is Crew Chief for the Homestyle sponsored Holden VH Commodore motor racing car, driven by Graeme Meer.
“Ray, a well-known car enthusiast and Clarendon Grange identity, approached Homestyle to see if we would be interested in sponsoring the car. We were delighted to be able to sponsor the car, especially given Ray’s involvement – his passion is something we wanted to encourage and support. The Homestyle Race Car was born,”.
“Whilst the season last year was interrupted due to COVID restrictions, Ray has kept us in the loop regarding race results. He attempted to host a drive day to allow some Homestyle residents and team members the chance to experience speeds of up to 280kmh, however the driver Graeme due to COVID had to isolate over the weekend of the event.
“The second attempt at Sandown was a weekend race meet, commencing Friday with practice where again bad luck befell the team, and a crash in practice put the car out for the weekend.
“We are delighted to be able to share in Ray’s passion. He holds out hope for a drive day later in the year where he says there will be a few surprises for each of the passengers, but he’s keeping tight lipped about the white-knuckle adventure ahead!”
Great how aged care living is keeping Ray in the driver’s seat.
