## Resource

A beloved Flamboro Speedway flagman, Doug MacLean, died tragically after being struck by a racing car during a Saturday night event. At 70, MacLean was a revered institution at the track—once a racer himself, he later became head starter and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Co-owners called him a close friend and inspiration, and his loss has left the racing community heartbroken. The Ministry of Labour is now investigating, and while the track prepares for its next race, fans and staff are mourning the irreplaceable presence of a man who lived and breathed speedway history.
