| The racing at the Marine Gardens Speedway on 17 July was noteworthy for the number of spills which took place, but luckily injuries were not serious. The Edinburgh riders were under a cloud. Drew McQueen found his engine giving trouble and was forced to stop summarily in the handicap final and in his heat of the Gold sash. George McKenzie, the holder of the Sash, made his exit from the handicap by falling on a bend, but made a great effort in the final of the Sash and got up in the last yard to dead heat with the Australian Jack Chapman. On the re-run McKenzie was always behind after the first bend and in chasing his rival crashed on the last lap. Chapman came down on the top bend but managed to finish the course. In an attempt on the lap record of 21 and three fifth secs established by Stan Catlett and Ned Kelly, Australia, Drew McQueen succeeded in putting up new figures 21 and one fifth secs. The attendance approached 10,000. |
