Episode 169 HSRCA Spring Festival.

I attended the HSRCA Spring Festival down at a windy and very chilly One Raceway near Goulburn. I spoke with HSRCA President Wayne Wilson about the event and then spent time with Richard Caller talking about his immaculate MGB GT Mk2. I followed that with a chat with Eli Solomon who was running an MG ARA Special (although we diverted into Singapore racing!) and finished with Paul Simpson and his 1979 Alfa Romeo GTV.

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 167 AMHF - Peter Tomlinson.

This is another interview in a series recorded with the volunteers at the Australian Motor Heritage Foundation. I spoke with Peter Tomlinson, a curator of a growing collection of audio/visual content. Peter describes his early years in motor sport and the work he does to convert the content so that it is available for future use in current formats.

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!
