A Tribute to Darren Sheppard


You ride a HD and me, I ride Jappers
I called yours slow and you Jap Crappers
At the line more then often, you’d send us packing
Showing off your skills, we obviously were lacking.

One thing you have, was respect from your peers
And after the racing over a couple of beers
We'd chat and laugh, at the fun we just had
But now as a group, we’re very much sad.
Your presents at the track will be sorely missed
But we will celebrate, rather then be pissed

I hear up in heaven the tracks are pretty rad
No worries with traction or weather to be had
And God in lane 2, he’s pretty tough to beat
A perfect light and dial every race, does he cheat?
We know your in heaven, it’s where all the good guys go
Beside god you now reside, and we wish you well
The drag family will be a while in our reunion at the track
But in years to come, we’re coming, so watch your back

Rest in peace Darren Sheppard, rest in peace for now
You’ve cut a red light, but the racing is not over, not anyhow
For your life on this planet was only round one
And more rounds and finals, will surely be done

Congrats on a life full of greatness, family and friends
We now say goodbye, see ya mate and thanks again

K Pacey
