 Australia was just coming out of the depression years, and the advent of the RAAF base at Mallala provided employment for many local businesses, e.g. builders, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, Postal Dept., Railways, Algar's Bakery, J.C.K. Reid fruit and vegetables, E.P. &amp; O.W. Pitt butcher, as well as kitchen staff, cleaning and grounds staff, to name a few.

 Next on the site came speedway entrepreneurs. A racing circuit was laid and big names won big races in magnificent cars, e.g. Lex Davison, Bob James and Frank Matich. The Adelaide International Raceway superseded Mallala, but after a great many hassles, the throb of tuned-up engines and the thrills of speed are back again with sporting car events, motorcycling and Formula 2&nbsp;and V8 races. The Motorsport Park is now a very busy place, with motor related activity on most days of the week.
