Intemationat Road Race Meeting at Thruxton Aerodrome, Hants
Commentary by Graham Walker and Murray Walker on the start and opening laps of the Final of the British Junior Motor-Cycle
Road Race Championship
The British Championship title for each of the recognised motor-cycle racing classes-125, 250, 350 and 500 c.c. engine capacity solo; and 1,200 c.c. sidecar and threewheeler-goes to the winner of each of the main races in this meeting at Thruxton.
Organised on behalf of the Auto-
Cycle Union by the Ashton Combine, the meeting is being run on one of the fastest circuits in the country, the
2.75-mile perimeter and runway track at Thruxton aerodrome, near Andover, Hants.
Last year's champions-Ivor Lloyd
(125 c.c. M.V.); Fergus Anderson (250 and 350 c.c. Guzzis), and Derek Farrant (500 Matchless): there was no sidecar race--will all be there to defend their titles. Among their chief opponents will be the Australian Ken Kavanagh, who rides in the Italian
Guzzi team with Anderson; Scotland's Bob Mclntyre, on a factory-entered A.J.S.; the two so far unnamed Norton factory riders, one of whom will probably be the dashing Southern Rhodesian, Ray Amm, who has won the Senior T.T. in the Isle of Man twice in succession; and John Surtees.
Surtees, a twenty-year-old Londoner, has been unbeatable this summer at Brands Hatch, the Crystal Palace, and on most of the aerodrome circuits on which he has raced the Nortons his father tunes for him.
In the sidecar class there will be keen competition between Peter Harris, from Wolverhampton, with a Norton, Ted Davis of Stevenage, who drives a ' big-twin' Vincent and the veteran Morgan three-wheeler driver from Oldbury, Cyril Hale.
