  Research Note	Bob was a great Mechanic, and used to love driving Racing Cars in competitions. The "Bob Scott Memorial Hill Climb" which is held each year in Kaitangata is in rememberance of him. His sons Robert and Greg have preserved his cars and use them in the race. His Grandsons are also becoming involved in this event. He was also a JP and the Mayor of Kaitangata. Bob raced against some of the best in the world, and he won 3 South Island titles. He was a regular sight at the annual Dunedin street race and really enjoyed the sport. When a young boy, my Mum told me stories about Bob, building up bicyles out of old pram wheel rims (no tyres), and held together with bits of wire and nuts and bolts that he could find, no brakes and just old bits and pieces of bikes, then he would race down Corstorphine Rd and also the hill that was called "Lady Sidey's ". My Mum said he was Always the Daredevil, but would do anything for you.
