Any chance of help with a problem?

Palmer led at the start but was passed by Shelly before the end of lap one. Matich was third at that stage. Palmer re-took the lead on lap two before Matich moved ahead of Palmer and Shelly on lap three. On lap eight Matich had a four-second lead over Palmer but retired soon after.

I should have made it clear that this was the Mount Maunganui meeting in December 1963 when Palmer was using the ex-Hyslop car. I was answering Terry's question in post 5.
