Early this morning I received a SMS from Robert Coombes telling me of the passing of Keith...Nobby ...Noble.
Nobby, along with John Cooper, were probably the 1st to build 1/4 scale RC sprintcars in Australia, about 25 years ago.
I was lucky enough to spend time with Nobby at the Warrnambool Classic, this last January and be with him in Knoxville in August 2010, as a travelling companion.'
I class Nobby as a good mate and one of 1/4 scales most informative characters.
RIP my friend
BJ

Very sad news indeed and most of us have known Nobby for many years and his passion for all things sprintcars and Q scale was huge. He will be sadly missed by many and all I can say is watch this spot.

Nobby's Funeral arrangements.
This from Penfield member Paul Cain.
Hello again,
I have been advised that Nobby will be having a private funeral/cremation. He has asked that his ashes be spread at Penfield but Pat has said that this may not happen for a few months. As you probably know, we have a rose garden and a plaque honouring members who have passed. When the time comes I am sure we will do something special to honour Nobby's involvement in the club and in Quarterscale Speedway as a whole.
Regards,
Paul

Nobby was a great man Jeff.
We announced his passing yesterday & we had one minute silence before the Sprintcar A-Main.
RIP Nobby

Rob Coombs recently sent this photo from the memorial day for "Nobby Noble" at Penfield Model Park.
