As a photo/ journalist for many years for Peter White's Speedway World publication I shot many thousands of Sprintcar, Speedcar, Solo & Sidecar photos at Parramatta City Raceway, Newcastle Motordrome and Gosford Speedways over the years 1995 to 2004. I have now scanned many hundreds of the negatives of those photos and am embarking on a series of top photos, put on DVD using great software, music, effects and titles for you to enjoy. Also available VIDEO DVDs of the demonstration runs of the vintage midgets of the members of the VSA of NSW.
All DVDs created for PAL TV format but playable on most computers with Windows Media or Quick Time software.
