A seaside speed trial

A speed trial in the best tradition of seaside sprints will be held at Weston-super-Mare on October 3rd, this annual event of the Burnham-on-Sea MC being held over a half-kilometre of the Marine Parade, by co-operation of the Borough Council. The sponsors are Guards cigarettes and there will be eleven classes, from touring to racing cars. As the famous Brighton Speed Trials, although revived this year, are now held over a mere I-mile course, the Weston-super-Mare event has grown in stature. Practice starts at 10 a.m., the event proper at 2.15 p.m. There is free car parking on the sands.
