Drag racing returns as Canberra youths run eight drags
Canberra Sporting Car Club spokesman says youths again hold eight drags on ACT roads while club members deny involvement. He criticizes delays by the Lands Department and Interior for approving a temporary acceleration test site near Duen Road in Fyshwick area for September 1943, noting past inaction and urging a sanctioned venue to curb illegal high speed runs. Police actions in July 1966 against a teen drag meet on the Federal Highway are recalled, with calls to provide an organized drag strip to curb dangerous racing.
