With great sadness Geelong Kart Club must report the passing of one of the legends of Australian Karting Paul Stania. Paul was a life member and our chief steward and one of the most informed people to have ever graced a kart track in this country. Paul passed away suddenly on Tuesday 26th August. It was only on the 17th August that Paul was stewarding at our most recent club event, chatting happily about all things karting and imparting a wealth of knowledge that few could equal. Paul spent a lifetime involved in karting as a driver, official, pit crew and many other things all in combination with his loving wife Sylvia who we lost recently also. Paul was there for Geelong Kart Club when we needed him the most and we will be forever thankful for everything he did for us. Our condolences go out to Jason, Amy, Ollie and Eden.
