Sky sport clip from last Wednesday night

And before someone corrects me. The RA Vanguard won the 1952 South Island beach racing championship, not the NZ Beach championship. The car in fact never raced in the North Island.
In 1951 it was timed over the standing quarter at 13.8 and it won the Canterbury Car Clubs sprint championship in 1952 at 15.24 seconds.

Sad to say that from a great beginning, this event hasn't really grown as much as I would have liked.

Not too sure why, given the obvious enthusiasm from the organising club, but maybe next year, it would be more suited to the new short track at Hampton Downs?

A long(ish) track and sparse grids are not a good mix, when much of the track is out of sight.
