Gold Star Scramble at Nelson
Thrills there were, and spills too - two big pile-ups shortly after the start of the first and second heats of the South Island Gold Star scramble series run off on Simpson's farm in Brook Street. Our pic at top shows the wipe-out in the first race and the Pic above the pileup which occurred on the first bend in the second race. The series were dominated by the Blenheim riders, Ivan and Noel Miller, who took first and second places in each of the three races. At left, Noel leads Ivan over the drop into the straight, and at right, Paul Decke gave us this shot as he stood his machine up over this drop.
