ANDRA is pleased to announce South Queensland Chief Steward Wayne Downes as the recipient of the 2015 Arthur J. Gallagher Volunteer of the Year Award.

Wayne is passionate about drag racing and seemingly gives up every spare moment to serve the sport as an ANDRA Steward, Divisional Council member and National Classifier. 

He first became an ANDRA Steward in 2001 and has since progressed to being a National Steward while also serving on the South Queensland Divisional Council and representing the DC as the National Rules Committee Representative. 

As the National Classifier, Wayne also volunteers his time to sit on the Index Review Committee as a non-voting member providing valuable input on Group Two categories. 

ANDRA wishes to extend our congratulations to Wayne on this prestigious award and we thank him for his tireless efforts serving the sport he loves not only in South Queensland but also around the country. 

As the recipient of the 2015 Arthur J. Gallagher Volunteer of the Year Award, Wayne will be invited to the 2015 East Coast Nationals at Sydney Dragway including a complimentary flight, accommodation and Championship Dinner Ticket for the awards night to be held on Monday November 9.
