Earlier this week it was with sadness ANDRA learned of the passing of former South Australian Division Director Harry White.

Harry was a loved member of the drag racing community retiring as SA Division Director in 2012 following 22 years in the position. 

His involvement in drag racing dates all the way back to the early days of racing at Brooksfield Dragway and later Adelaide International Raceway. But what many people may not know is that just prior to getting behind the wheel, Harry was called up to serve in Vietnam. 

Upon his return after serving his country with distinction, Harry played a significant role in the formation and operation of the South Australian Drag Racers Association and spent time with ANDRA as the Executive Director and membership of the National Executive Committee, assisting with the operation of the Australian Drag Racing Promoters Association conferences on numerous occasions.
