17 THE MONTAGUE BURTON TROPHY COMPETITION

This supplementary competition will be run off at the conclusion of the two timed runs for all competitors and will be open to the four competitors who have made the fastest times in each of the five major categories, irrespective of class, i.e. the fastest four Touring Cars, “ Marque” Sports Cars, Sports Cars, Sports/Racing Cars and Racing Cars. The names of the four drivers eligible in each category w ill be given out as each category finishes th e ir second tim ed runs and can be entered in the spaces below. At the conclusion of the main part of the meeting, the twenty cars eligible will make their way to the start and have one fu rth e r ascent in numerical order. The New Time recorded on this run will be compared with the Best Time set up on the previous two runs and the actual Improvement in seconds and decimals calculated by subtraction. The competitor with the greatest improvement will be the winner of “ The Montague Burton Trophy” for 12 months. Times recorded in this competition will not affect the awards based upon the earlier two timed runs with the exception that records can be broken and if the fastest time recorded exceeds the fastest time of the day, this will count towards “ The Yorkshire Post” Trophy for the fastest time of the season.
