1931 - BUNBURY'S BACK BEACH
In June of 1931 the Back Beach of Bunbury was turned into a race track for speed trials, the first event was a flying quarter mile which was won by Ossi Cranston in his A model Ford special at a speed of 88.23mph from a Desoto and a Austin Special.
The standing quarter mile handycap race Ossi found his handycap too great to overcome to win but still set fastest time.
Ossi went on to complete the day by winning the four and five mile handycap races along the Back Beach.
