HISTORY:
Andy Dunn was the heartbeat of the hot rod community, both in Newfoundland and worldwide as the adopted child of the Hot Rodder’s HAMB organization. Diagnosed at a very young age with cancer, Andy and his friends began fulfilling his dream of owning his very own hot rod. For three years Andy fought cancer, and with the help of his friends he built his hot rod, finishing it in time to drive it at the age of 13 for 11 km. He passed away March 17, 2009 at the age of 14.
The local racing community wanted to do something in Andy’s honour, so with the help of his parents Chris and Rose Dunn, and local sponsorship, the Andy Dunn Memorial Race Day event was born. |
