It finished with the state ment as to how the proceeds of the event are to be shared. The Canterbury Car Club does not take any share of the profits, which are controlled by a limited liability company. A statement as printed is liable to mislead Car Club members into believing, in the event of a suocessful day, that the club's finances have been substantially improved. i'nis cannot be the case.—. am, etc., SPORIS CAR. "Sports Car's" letter was referred to the organiser of the road race (Mr I. G. Bandy),. who replied: "The final sentence in the article was broad general statement, and should be read in that light. However, "Sports Car's" comments are also misleading, and if he cares to apply to the secretary of the Canterbury Car Club (Mr P.M. MacShane), 82, Hereford Street, he will obtain full details regarding the financial arrangements, and thus clear up any doubts he has in this respect."—Ed., "Star-Sun." 15-2-50 15-2-50 15-2-50 PRODUCTION CAR TRIAL TEN ENTRIES FOR TEST NEXT WEEK Ten entries have been received for the production car trial which will be held in conjunction with the national road race car championship on . the Wigram air strip on February 25.
