Tailwagger 1 Racing at Southport

Thrills with Tailwagger in the great days of motor racing on Southport sands.

Filmmaker George Jesse Turner gets alarmingly close to the action as he records the thrills of motor racing on Southport's golden sands, with Tailwagger 1 and other cars hurtling around him. The town became famous not only for racing, as Southport sands also saw land speed record attempts, with the likes of Sir Malcolm Campbell and Sir Henry Segrave drawing huge crowds of spectators.
