Glen Dix
"Australia's FAMOUS flag waiving person"
Glen Dix
was born at Victor Harbor in 1934 and went to Riverton High
School and went on to work at the Dept. Marine and Harbours
at Port Adelaide for 40 years before retiring.
Glen loves
both Motor Sport and waiving the checkered flag bringing joy
to both young and old.
Glen, as
Clerk of the Course at Rowley Park Speedway, Adelaide
International Raceway and other various venues had the job
of waiving the flags during an event, went on to become the
great legend of the CHEQUERED FLAG.
He became
famous after
the 1985 Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix which was held in
Adelaide, where the "whole world" saw him doing something
that was "NATURAL" to Glen, but unusual to others who had
never seen him waive flags.
