sammi_d Posted July 25, 2024 Share Posted July 25, 2024 Really sad news to hear!! I’ve scheduled a post on our SAU FB and Insta for later this morning, which I hope will do him justice!! I tried fitting in some quotes from you all into the post, but stupid FB and Insta have a character limit… Neil meant a great deal to many people… I remember emailing with him early in my tenure in the committee to get him his (at the time) new Life Member card… he was pretty chuffed - I could tell he loved SAU and it would be from the memories made with all of you… Rest in Peace Neil!! You’ll be dearly missed!! 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485675-farewell-neilhope-the-tracks-are-awesome-where-you-are-going/page/2/#findComment-7991788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil. Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was. He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it. Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485675-farewell-neilhope-the-tracks-are-awesome-where-you-are-going/page/2/#findComment-7991825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niZmO_Man Posted July 28, 2024 Share Posted July 28, 2024 Damn... My only interaction with Neil was my shitbox spraying petrol all over him during an SMSP East track day (I was in front of his Radical during an out lap, with a full tank, petrol was spraying out of the overflow valve). He was super chill about it. But that left a lasting impression on me. Rest in peace mate.

benm Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hey guys I don't visit the forums anymore so not even sure how I found this thread but here it is, what a shock. I'm so glad Neil and Mel got out of Sydney and had some relaxing fun time before this happened. Neil is a great bloke and will be sadly missed. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485675-farewell-neilhope-the-tracks-are-awesome-where-you-are-going/page/2/#findComment-7996535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
