For 20 years, Graeme Cocks has been researching the early history of motorsport in Western Australia.  It began with a fascination for the cars and the drivers who raced at the Lake Perkolilli racetrack near Kalgoorlie from 1914 but it soon expanded to include the arrival of the motor car in our state. Now, to celebrate 100 years of motor racing at Perkolilli, Graeme has turned this passion into a new book, “Red Dust Racers” which documents the stories of early motorsport in WA and the glory days at the legendary track. link
