Speedcar Derby
The Gisborne Speedway was host to the South Pacific 20-lap Speedcar Derby on January 25, where 10 speedcars attended the meeting. Star attraction was the new world speedcar champion, Trevor Morris, but he was beaten into second place in the Derby by Barry Butterworth. Speedcars do not come cheaply, some going as high as 8000 bucks' worth.
Barry Butter-worth in his Offenhauser (No.26) easily passes Dave Tonkins in his Holden, approaching the pit corner.
From left, Derby placegetters are David Ryan (third), Barry Butterworth (first) and Trevor Morris (second).
A matter of a small pile-up resulted in these three cars having to be removed from the track.
