Exciting Sport
An exciting sport for both participator and spectator is due to start in Gisborne on the night of January 2. The Gisborne Midget Car and Motor Cycle Club proposes to hold its first stock car meeting on its new track in Awapuni Road.
There are a number of stock cars in town already and it is hoped that Hawkes Bay cars will race here, too, every second Saturday night during the season.
The track under construction. When finished, it will be so built that spectators can look down onto the cars from a safe height. Old railway sleepers form part of the wall below spectator level.
Bill Northe has purchased "Kimba" which was one of the top cars in New Zealand for the past two seasons. It has a 3.3 Cresta motor in a Prefect Series E body.
Bruce Mitchell and "Top Cat"–a Citroen body powered by a Dodge Six motor.
"Herby", owned by syndicate, Gerry Huberts, Rex Williamson, Mal Watts, Terry Shields and David Dewar. Pictured with the car, which has a V8 engine in a Ford body, are Gerry Huberts and mechanic-driver Rex Williamson.
