Open Events

Here are a few of the events for which we have some information.

The Light Car Club conducted a trial to Ballarat on May 25th. Comprising a “reliability” trial followed by a hillclimb and a sprint, it appears that at least on the trial the winners were Bert Chalmers in a Standard Vanguard and Bill Patterson in a Ford, both losing no points, while Bib Stillwell in a supercharged MG TC lost no points on the trial but was penalised for lateness at the start.

The Victorian Sporting Car Club ran their first Midnight Trial on July 9th. There were 59 starters but only 17 finishers! Wal Feltham in a Ford V8 tied on points with R. Kerr in a Singer, but Feltham was declared winner after a sub-event.

Two weeks later on July 23rd the Light Car Club ran their third Experts Trial. It was won by Bill Patterson in a Ford V8.
