Mick Johnson
Benefit Night
11th September
2008Naas Court Hotel
One of the most well known
faces around the Mondello
Park
paddock,
Mick Johnson, was recently involved in a major road accident
and is currently hospitalised with serious and possibly long
term injuries.
Mick is a senior member of
the maintenance staff at the circuit and is well known to
competitors through his years of experience of rescuing their cars
from gravel traps and cleaning up the circuit after their
incidents. Usually found in the paddock sitting behind the wheel of
a teleporter or tractor awaiting a call out, Mick was always good
humoured and ready to help and has made many friends in motor
racing over the years.
Mick and his wife Loretta
were involved in a horrific traffic accident on May 25th when
during high winds, a tree fell on their car while they were driving
home on the Dublin
to
Monasterevin
Road. Mick has been
hospitalised ever since.
A benefit night for Mick and
Loretta has been organised by the circuit on Thursday September
11th in the Naas
Court
Hotel
at
8PM. The evening will
consist of a race night, raffle and auction with all proceeds
going directly towards the Mick Johnson Fund.
We are looking, not only for
a big turn out on the night, but also items to raffle and auction
and would be grateful for any support you can give.
