The Summer Trial, organised by the Victorian Sporting Car Club, was held on Sunday February 18th.
Directors Maurie Monk and Phil Harrison intended only a moderately challenging event but torrential rains turned the challenge into one of survival, with only 11 of the 30 starters finishing.
The winner was Don Thomson in a Javelin, navigated by his wife, Nan.
