Episode 168 Geoff Piggott - AMHF Chief Operating Officer.

This recording of an interview with Geoff was made earlier in the year and it primarily discusses the work of the Australian Motor Heritage Foundation and highlights their Economic Value Study that has estimated the impact of the historic road and racing community on the economy of the country. It is clear that owners of classic cars contribute a huge amount to the local communities they live in. Something that Governments at every level should be aware of - as well as local businesses.

Episode 166 AMHF - Rod Chivas - Curating Race Results.

Following on from episodes 147 and 157 with the Australian Motor Heritage Foundation, I interviewed Rod Chivas about the work he has done on race results from Australian motorsports events. Before Natsoft put everything online, it was all printed materials. Rod has collated thousands of records of race results!

Episode 159 Spencer Martin - Australian Drivers Champion 1966 & 1967.

I sat down with Spencer Martin at the Australian Motor Heritage Foundation offices at Sydney Motorsports Park to talk about life off the track. Much has been written and recorded about his brief racing career in the 60s and his later historic racing in the 1990s onwards, however we talk more about his other life as a mechanic, businessman and author - as well as connecting it back to his racing career!
