Guys,
      Agree that this history need to be preserved, the photos I have posted are a small part of the VSRA archives that I have been copying and filing safely before we lose this history. The deal with the photos from the original owners were they wanted them seen by enthusiasts and preserved for the future, but not to be used to make money by anyone. Hard to control that but the intentions are good. N.B. VSRA has now had a name change to the ASRA.

I talked to some people about preserving all of this. They said that it could be put onto
a memory stick or whatever and bingo. I don't understand all of this but I know it can be done.
I have considered doing something like a loose leaf folder of what is already here and then just keep adding to it. It is way to important to lose. Also some of the photographers (professional?) need to jump on board so that some of the pics don't get deleted. I have a pic of Chris Watson that is an absolute
ripper but might get deleted if posted. Oh yeah,... just gotta work out how to post photos :-[
regards  Mark

Speaking of preserving this history, does anyone remember/ know of Graham Wungluck. He used to write a  dirt track page in the revs magazine. He attended and photographed all the major meetings mainly in the 80s I think. His photos were always very good and he would have taken hundreds of them. It would be fantastic to get hold of that collection.
