Dave Harders 14 November 1955 - 2 February 2012

Sadly we have lost one of our good friends, Dave Harders of Darwin, after a year-long battle to cancer. Dave and his wife Taryn took up Drag Racing and soon after, supported Drag Racing in Alice Springs. Some of the best times for Dave and Taryn was coming to Alice Springs with their Mustang and mixing it with the best.

Many great friendships were built through racing in Alice Springs and Dave and Taryn wanted to give back to those who gave so much happiness to them. Dave was a very successful business man but above all, he was just a "bloke" who loved his Drag Racing. Taryn sold the Mustang to Brian Breed of Darwin and he has named the car "Hard Ass" in memory of Dave.

Taryn, on behalf of her and Dave, and in honour of Dave, made a substantial donation to CADRA which has been used to build the Burn Out Pad. CADRA is grateful for the Harders family donation and has honoured their friendship by building and naming the ASID burnout pad after Dave: "The Hard Ass Burnout Pad"!
