The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate could properly reject the appellant's evidence that he did not know the driver's identity and there was no realistic prospect of acquittal on the facts found; any imperfections in the magistrate's formulation (the unnecessary 'either/or' finding) did not produce a miscarriage of justice and the conviction and sentence (fine $3,500 and disqualification for 18 months as to Class I vehicles) are within the proper range having regard to the seriousness of the alleged illegal road racing; appeal dismissed under the proviso (s119(d)).
