Saloon
Car Race
To Grant
The young Palmerston North ..driver,
Kerry Grant, made up
for some shocking luck
in this morning's heat
to make no race of the
final of the I.G.A. saloon
car. race at Wigram
this afternoon.
Driving a Lotus-Cortina,
Grant made a mockery of
the rear line on the starting
grid to win handsomely
from. Christehurch's Ray
Archibald (Jaguar) with the
unlucky Ernie Sprague
(Zephyr) third
Sprague made a fiyer from
the third line in his Zephyr
-battered as the result of an
(unfortunate crash this morning-but Grant took the lead
and had the field well covered by the end of the
second lap.
. Frustrated
For the next one Archibald was frustrated in his
attempts' to nose Sprague
out of second place, and all
I the while Grant was increas
ling his lead.
Aichibald •finally took
sprague, but by this time
Grant had built up an irre
trievable lead.
Archibald Faster
Driving magnificently
Grant kept the Christchurch
driver at bay although
Archibald was lapping at a
second: faster than the
young Palmerston North
man, over the final lap.
When Grant finally got the
checkered flag, he was 100
Fards ahead of Archibald
with 'Sprague a long way
back in third place:.
There was an even longer
gap back to the fourth car,
1. Dows (Jaguat), who
had a tense struggle with
C. M. Hogan (Okahune) in
an Allardette.
