Leo Car Trial to Revell and Illingworth

The Gisborne Leo Club held a very successful open car trial on the Sunday of Queen's Birthday weekend.

Thirty-three cars took part in the trial and proceeds from the day's event will go to charity.

First prize of $10 worth of petrol vouchers went to Graeme Revell who is pictured with his navigator, Nola Illingworth.

Checking with starter John Neal is Lance Stopford.

Charlie Mills and navigator David Hoffman look over the course instructions before starting off.

While the day was very overcast, at least it did not rain, although previous downpours had made the country roads something of a hazard as is shown in these pics taken by Paul Henderson.

The winning Revell Monaro takes it easy under the conditions.
