HILL-CLIMBING EVENTS

CONTESTS ON SATURDAY Six events have been set down for decision at the hill-climbingr tests of the Sports Motor-Cycle Club to be held at Henning’s Speedway, Mangere, on Saturday. The first test will be run off at 2 p.m. The programme caters for all types of machine from the two-stroke to the 500 c.c. class, and may include a side-car event.
