Alec Pringle Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well I've signed it, but given that the Brighton council seems to be dominated by Greens, which is another way of saying blithering idiot in my book, then I wouldn't hold out too much hope . . . . . It's nearly 30 years since I left Brighton, it had been going downhill council wise for some years and has carried on more or less that way ever since. The Speed Trial was a great event, and a great tradition, enjoyed by huge numbers of good folks - that's more than enough for the PC Greens to want to can it I suppose. Killjoy was there . . . . .

markymar93 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I have my fingers crossed it is kept running, however the tragic death last year I think has put weight on banning it. I have gone every year I can remember with my dad. And my dad has gone pretty much for the last 40 years to support his uncle and cousin who raced there rudge motorcycles. Let's just hope there is sufficient support to keep it running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markymar93 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Great news. V happy. I have always wanted to see my dad have a go at the trials as he has gone pretty much every year since his teenage years. Might see if I can pursuade him to have a go in my volvo 1800 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks Jon Only just seen your message, been away. Good News. Not an event that I've ever been to, nor am I likely to from where I live, but any threatened Motor Sport event, particularly in such an unusual setting is worth fighting to retain.

markymar93 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 It is such an old event that it wod have been such a shame. Anyone who can get to it I would recomend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
