Library News: The 250
books from the collection that was recently purchased by the
club have now been classified in their various divisions,
and and are now being numbered prior to being included in
our collection.
For the benefit
of new members and others who may not be familiar with the
shelving arrangement of the library, the books are being
numbered and placed in divisions that are more practical for
our needs, rather than using the more general Dewey Decimal
system of classification. Divisions are as follows:
1. Individual
marques: The books are arranged in alphabetical order by
vehicle make.
2. Australian
Motor Sport: These books on Australian motor racing are
arranged in alphabetical order by author’s surname.
3. Grands
Prix: Books on Grands Prix and Formula one are arranged
in chronological order.
4. Racing
Cars - General: Books are in alphabetical order by
author’s surname.
5. Sports
Cars - General: Books are in alphabetical order by
author’s surname.
6.
Miscellaneous works: Books are in alphabetical order by
author’s surname.
7.
Biographical works: Books are in alphabetical order by
author’s surname.
8. Technical
works: Books are in alphabetical order by author’s
surname.
In addition to
approximately 825 books the library also houses an extensive
collection of magazines and racing programs as follows:

Members cars
In the October Issue of the Newsletter I asked for members to
send me a history of their car. In time we hope this will
become a valuable resource from the VHRR. If you would like
to send me
something along the lines of that published so far, I would
be thrilled to publish it on this site. Your own name is
optional and we will respect your privacy.
Your Help Wanted (and it doesn't involve hard work)
Within the garages of our members are lots of very
interesting cars. They are brought out for a few events
a year and then tucked away again without the hundreds of
interested spectators getting a chance to find out more about
them and their history. Our prolific scribe Adam Davis
has offered a solution. He will write a series of
articles about the cars but he needs you to tell him all about
them. Help Adam unveil the secret life of your historic
racer(s). Contact him via email (ads027@gmail.com).
Italian "tax-break" supercars
The fuel crisis of the mid 70's resulted in the Italians
producing a series of cars that you may not be aware of,
something that almost sounds a contradiction of terms - small
engined supercars. Adam Davis has been doing some
research and produced an interesting article.

Mallala Easter 2006
Mallala attracted some interesting cars (e.g. a Ralt Sports
Car) and provided some close racing. John Lemm and Bob
Taylor took their cameras along to share the experience.
