Harry Smith's Album

The
second Narrogin 1400 mile trial, 1956 - a gruelling adventure through
scrub and sandhills as far as Balladonia and Israelite Bay and (if you
were lucky) back. Among the competitors is Eddie Perkins of Victoria,
Aub Melrose, and Harry Smith's brother Les.

The
only three motor racing photos in the album: Harry was a trials man at
heart, but also the power behind the Narrogin Car Club.

The
survey team, 1955. That's Harry Smith leaning in the front door.

The
caption on the back says Madura Pass, but it isn't. It's somewhere on
the spectacular coast east of Esperance.

No
program or results details unfortunately, so I can't identify the crews
unless the details are on the back.

Looks
like a Holden FX.
