Baypark ; lost tracks - to lost magazines..
Australian " Auto Action " has just ceased publishing after 45 years, the publication name has been sold to a big group, but no indication that it will survive, started going backwards when the stopped putting the weekend results in and published on a Thursday, to being on the shelf on a Monday, with nothing of the recent racing.
Interesting at the time it started Motorman had been going for a number of years, Allan Dick's " Auto News " was around, the NZ Hot Rod magazine the longest running Automotive magazine, apart from the AA members only publication had been going since the 1960's [ correct me here !! could be a bit wrong there.
Here is the front page, I haven't read much of it yet !!. Couldn't scan as reduced so in two parts .. overlaps, sorry.
