| The next programme at the Marine Gardens Speedway was one of the finest and most thrilling yet staged at Portobello. It was additionally attractive by the success of the Edinburgh riders Drew McQueen and George McKenzie in the face of stern opposition from the Australian competitors led by Billy Galloway. McQueen had two victories during the evening and both were gained at Galloway’s expense. On the first occasion he defeated Galloway in a four laps match after a greater struggle. McQueen gained the lead in the first bend and though Galloway held on tenaciously, the Edinburgh man held on to his advantage to the end. He won the Gold Helmet more decisively once more gaining an early lead after throwing off a challenge by Buzz Hibberd who held on for about a lap before yielding his place as challenger to Billy Galloway. Though he did not win the handicap, Andy Milne, Edinburgh, did sufficient to confirm that he was rapidly falling in beside the stars. With a desperate struggle he defeated Billy Galloway in the semi-final and just failed to stay in front of George McKenzie and Drew McQueen in as close a finish as had been seen. |
