SUPPORT TROY CRITCHLEY

A group of Australian drag racers led by Troy’s former team principle, Victor Bray wish to hand a petition to the Australian Prime minister, Mr. Kevin Rudd which will contain signatures and names of racers, track officials, management and fans that are concerned for the future of Troy Critchley and would like to see the Australian government give whatever support available to ensure Troy has every opportunity during this testing time while he is in the hands of the American legal system. Troy currently is facing numerous very serious charges under Tennessee law.

By taking this action we as Troy’s extended racing family don’t want to belittle the tragedy that occurred in Selmer and we as a group along with Troy wish to extend our deepest sympathies to those who lost loved ones, the injured, their families and anyone adversely affected by the tragedy. We just want to ensure Troy has access to the best help and advice to assist him though these very difficult times.

Over the years the Australian government has supported publicly Australian citizens when facing the legal system of foreign countries. Mostly this has occurred when illegal activity has taken place. Troy Critchley has not attempted any illegal activity nor intentionally broken any laws. He is simply a decent Aussie bloke caught up in an extremely bad situation. Troy has been commended by many observers throughout his ordeal for his cooperation with authorities and for making himself available on request to assist in the investigation.

By signing the petition you are simply showing support for Troy. We understand that while in the hands of the American legal system in Tennessee that the Australian government may have little or no prospects to aid Troy in his defense however all we are asking is that the appropriate government officials keep themselves abreast of the situation and give advice and help when warranted..
