| The following night there was a crowd of about 15,000 present at the Marine Gardens Speedway to witness a fine card of dirt track racing. There were one or two spills during the evening but luckily no serious consequences arose. Of the eight scratch men, three reached the final of the handicap:- Roger Frogley, Drew McQueen and George McKenzie. None of the three was able to catch Oliver Goodfellow who won with ease, but the race for second place was very thrilling, Roger Frogley just getting home ahead of George Mckenzie. The four Australians engaged failed to reach the final. Billy Galloway came down in his heat while Wise and Leitchfield stopped in their semi-finals. McKenzie got his revenge on Frogley when he defeated him in a match. The race was only decided at the second attempt, Frogley coming down in the third lap on the first occasion and McKenzie, who waas lading, drew up. On the second effort the Edinburgh man held on tenaciously to an early lead and won by a narrow margin. Drew McQueen came back to form in the Gold Gauntlet race. It took him two and a half laps to catch the Australian Chapman but once he gained the lead he held on well and won by about 40 yards. |
