Street Sprints

The Gisborne Car Club Street Sprints '95 were held in the industrial subdivision where 33 cars raced the clock to be the quickest around a course consisting of two 1.7km laps. Each driver had five sprints to choose the fastest lines including the back straight where the speeds were reaching up to 180kph. Great stuff to see.
