In a fitting farewell, Canberra super-promoter Chic Henry, the father of the Summernats street machine festival, was sent off in style on Friday with a lewd joke, laughter, tears . . . and plume of a burn-out smoke.
Mr Henry's memorial service inside the judging pavilion at Exhibition Park drew a crowd of around 400 people, with many hundreds more watching it streamed live online via social media.
