COVENTRY AND

WARWICKSHIRE M.C.

Mancetter Hill-Climb

DRY roads in the first runs resulted in

four class records being broken at

the Coventry and Warwickshire Motor

Club's speed hill-climb held recently at

Mancetter Quarry, near Atherstone.

A record went to R. D. Broad (Austin

Seven), for saloon cars up to 1,600 c.c.,

and in the class for saloon cars over

1,600 c.c., P. Bragshaw and his Aston

Martin clocked 38.82 secs.-beating the

old class record of 41.91 secs. D. W.

Embley's Lotus did a climb in 36.91 secs.

—beating the old class record of 37.14

secs, for sports cars up to 1,300 c.c.

J. Randle's Cooper put up B.T.D.,

34.19 secs., to win him a club trophy, and

also beating the old class record of 34.20

secs. for unlimited sports racing cars.

B.T.D. by a member of an invited club

went to W. J. Camp, in a Cooper, win-

ning him the Newsome Trophy.
