Speedway Thrills
Gisborne speedway got a shot in the arm from its Christmas meeting at the Patutahi Domain circuit when a strong contingent of Auckland and Hawkes Bay riders provided stiff and spectacular opposition for the local lads.
The meeting was the first major event on the new track at Patutahi, and was watched by a large crowd in good weather.
Added to a full programme of motorcycle, midget car, and gokart races was Hawkes Bay stunt man Herb Lever and his "Roly-Poly" car.
Top rider of the day, Fred Timmo, of Hawkes Bay, leans into a corner at top speed while setting a new lap record for the circuit.
Rounding a bend in tight formation are, from left, Terry Wilson (H. B.), Harvey Lodge (Gis), and Steve Clark (Gis).
Ian Barbour (Gis) comes to grief in the back straight.
