West Ham

Whit Monday Scratch Trophy


Unbelievable scenes in the pits before the final when the controversial Bill Bendix car was deliberately set on fire. It had failed pre-meeting scrutineering due to being overweight and having a big cow-catcher type front bumper. Bill had accepted this and raced a different car in the heat.
