Wanganui
Ray Purdy Memorial - Saloons
Sunday 16 March 2008
Pictures & reporting by Mike Pollard

Memorial races for Saloons and Superstocks were the official feature .... but the feature event for most must surely have been the arrival of the mighty Sprintcars to the Oceanview track.

Superstocks
64p Kev Smith was a late arrival and missed the first race. In the second Kev blasted off the back of the clutch start grid and tore round the outside
into the infamous 1st turn, overtaking half the field in the process. I felt sure he was going to be walled, but the move was so audacious, it took everyone by surprise. The charge soon came to a halt however, after just one lap, when the car started billowing smoke from the engine bay, and ended the day for #64p Smith.
