MID-SURREY A.C.

A fine entry of 88 cars was received for the London to Barnstaple Trial, held on August 4th. A good idea was the alternative given to competitors of either having a night-section run from Hampton Court or of joining in at Minehead for the

hilly part of the trial. Doverhay was the first of the six observed hills, and caused six failures, among them being such experienced people as M. NV. B. May (Alvis), H.. J. Ripley (Alvis) and Alan C. Hess (British Salmson.). Edbrooke came next, but troubled no one at all. Taw Steps was not so easy, however, brought 17 cars to a standstill. Lynmouth Station Hill was in such good condition that most cars toured up quite easily, although NV. A. V. Davis (Volseley Hornet) and Mrs. L. (;;Irstin (Alla-Romeo)

failed to cope VI /ill it. Lyn Hill is distinguished by its acute hairpin, and cars of Over eight feet wheelbase were allowed to reverse. Rain caused a little difficulty, and altogether there were 23 failures. Beggars Roost was the last hill, made more difficult than is usual in the summer by a slippery surface. There were some good performances made here, and some very bad ones, the difference generally being a question of choosing the right path. A surprising failure was C. V. Glass (Singer Le Mans), while few people expected J. H. Summerfield to stop with

his Magnette. Near Hunter’s Inn a special timed test was held, in which the fastest time was made by J. R. H. Baker and A. H. Langley, both driving I,e Mans Singers in 32.6 secs. The cars had to Stop on a hairpin bend, restart, and stop again on a line farther up-the hill. Second fastest was P. F. Parker (Lancia) in 33 seconds, followed by A. R. Samuel (Lancia) and J. A. Robinson (Lancia). Here are the full results :-
