Motor Racing At Tahnna

For two days - one of them miserably wet - Tahuha resounded to the roars of high powered cars when the Nelson Car Club held its New Year meeting, N. F. Stuart won the provincial title on the first day and on the second W. L. Harris led from start to finish to win the New Zealand beach racing title in his big Alfa Jaguar special. The pics on these two pages were taken during the second day.
