| About 10,000 spectators were present at the Marine Gardens Speedway, Edinburgh on 3 July when the visitors were Ned Kelly and Syd Parsons, Australia and Tiger Sanderson, Newcastle, deputising for Billy Galloway, injured at Glasgow on the previous Tuesday. The Scottish Champion Drew McQueen was a competitor from whom much was expected. He was, however, disappointing for his riding lacked the fire of that of his championship victory. George Mckenzie gave some dashing displays, notably in his victory in the intercity race and again when he defeated Syd parsons and led the field home in the final of the Sash. After one lap McKenzie drew ahead of Parsons and Burnet to gain a lead which he held to the tape. |
