| he dirt track racing programme at the Marine Gardens on 3 August provided 10,000 spectators with brisk and interesting sport and enabled Drew McQueen to win the gold sash and thus become holder of all the track trophies. He was in good form and though for one and a half laps in the final he was headed by Buster Frogley, McQueen always had the measure of the Englishman and once he gained the lead he won in comfortable fashion. Once again, however, McQueen disappointed in the handicap event. He was set the task of giving starts all round but his engine put the task beyond him. He certainly was able to get beyond the initial heat but only after having stopped and restarted. By then the other competitors, except the winner J. Logie, had retired and McQueen gained second place without opposition. The semi-final finished McQueen, his engine failing him and causing him to retire. In the other semi-final there was a nasty spill when Frank Duckett, Australia and Oliver Goodfellow came together on the top bend, Duckett being rather heavily thrown against the safety fence. The Australian appeared to have been badly hurt, but after removal to the emergency tent he came round satisfactorily. Alan Campbell had a comfortable win in the final. He made good use of his handicap and piled up so big a lead that neither Holder nor Wise was able to get on terms. |
