Motor-Cycling On Beach Circuit

Excellent fields helped draw a big crowd to the Tahuna Beach circuit for the Nelson Motor Cycle Club's meeting. The two long straights and the sandy bends allowed the riders to get the best out of their machines and in so doing provide the crowd with speed aplenty. And there were quite a few spills.
