Variety to please everyone
Organisers of the 1980 Wigram meeting promised a wide variety of motor sport: Formula Pacific, Formula Ford, saloons, OSCA, Escortsport, classic racing cars, drag cars and motor-cycles, plus an aerobatic flying display. The promotion cost around $30,000, and George Begg said they could not afford a failure after 6000 paying spectators the previous year.
