"My favourite thing was the atmosphere, the competitors and the cars during a race meeting.

"It's very different to what a normal day at Wakefield Park would be.

"I'm definitely going to miss all the competitors, officials and the staff.

"It's a close community."

Walsh left the position because her family was getting older.

"I've taken up a position as a medical receptionist," she said.

"It was a difficult decision because I've loved everything Wakefield Park has given me.

"I've made a lot of friendships and I still talk to them on a regular basis."

Walsh was taken aback the day she left because she received a reception she didn't expect.

"I was given me a lap of honour in a safety car," she said.

"All the officials and competitors were along pit wall and some were waving their flags and clapping."

Ruth Walsh's final day was on Sunday, February 27.
