Stock cars
A programme on Sunday afternoon consists of highlights from the 22nd “Southern 500,” a stock car race held annually at Darlington race track in South Carolina. American stock cars are quite different from New Zealander’s concepts of stock cars, for the American ones are in fact, stock-standard saloon cars, with only limited modifications allowed.
