Bo’ness International Meeting

With Raymond Mays a non-runner, George Abecassis stepped straight into the lead for the Hill-Climb Championship at Bo’ness. His “3.3” G.P. Bugatti set a record for the new course of 38.2 sec. The runner-up was Hutchison, whose “2.9” Alfa-Romeo did a grand run in 38.9 sec. Next came Bear, Gerard and Heath – most commendably. Mrs. Derbyshire tied with Allard in her “blown” ex-Maclure Riley, a truly fine show.
