Vowel cancer?

For those with limited ability in Welsh (and generally) here is my take on the pronunciation - best efforts.

Rhydymwyn: Ruth (as in Rutherford)-im-win.

Simple.

Vowel cancer?

There are 4 vowels ...… but I would be very interested if anyone has entry details.

 

I think the sprints were organised by Chester Motor Club.I emailed Robin Parker some time back but I don't think he had any further info.

Rob,

 

I've got some results - an organiser was Wirral 100 Motor Club.

I always heard it as Ruth-ee-mo-in. When I belonged to Wallasey Motor Club a number of older members used to talk of it.

1962:

At Rhydymwyn, Mike Hatton at last had

a win and a new course record of 1 min.

13.2 secs. Bridges brought his Merlyn

Junior in second just ahead of Graeme

Austin who had replaced his Lotus-B.M.C. 7

with the Gerry Tyack Emeryson. Peter

Borthwick (Lola-Climax) put up a good

show to finish fourth.
