Warrington motor racing

The Otago Motor Club ran off a series of motor cycle races on the Warrington beach on Saturday, and a great deal of interest was manifested in the different events. The races were arranged for low tide, and there was a fine hard expanse of sand to travel on, which was taken full advantage of by the riders. The pace at times was thrilling, noticeably so by W. H. Jones (a Christchurch rider), B. Wilden, and F. M’Donald. The course was a twomile one — out and back — and where turns had to be negotiated these were cleverly taken by the riders, and very few spills occurred. The club officials were present in full force, and got the races off well up to time. — ODT, 10.1.1919.
