This class should be dominated by the more modern Yamahas and the Parr Villiers. Haydn Williams 350 c.c. Velorton is a regular competitor at Brighton and can expect opposition from the Matchless of P. J. Minter and the two Japanese Hondas. The 500 c.c. class should provide an interesting battle between the supercharged Triumph of John Camhi and the unblown Torquemada (Triumph engine) of Phil Manzano and the Ron May Triumph. The Vintage Rudge of Alan Morgan and the pre-war Geo. Cole Ariel are to interesting machines to watch. Fierce competition will come from the machines in the 750 c.c. class, firstly from the standard production Triumphs Nos. 25 & 29 and the official works entered Norton Atlas to be ridden by Des Heckle holder of several World Records for sprinting on his 250 C.c. Starmaker Villiers. The racing machines of Don Bast, Dick Ansell, Tony Driscoll and Jack Terry, are all capable of the 100 m.p.h. average for the Kilo. The terminal speeds for Dick, Tony and Jack at recent Ouxiord Kilo sprint were between 145-150m.p.h. In the 1000 c.c. class Ian Ashwell on his Vincent Satan can be expected to try and repeat last years performance at Brighton when he put up F.T.O. for motor- cycles, in a time of 19-3 sees. lan's best time for Kilo is 18-967 sees. Interesting in the sidecar class will be the Imp engined "Impulse" a new outfit out for the first time as a sprint special. The Vincent of Mick Merrick who is the current Hill Climb Champion should prove the fastest machine.

The trials have always attracted an exciting list of entries and have always been of major interest to motoring enthusiasts of all ages. I hope the trials will continue for many years to come. I offer roy congratulations to the Brighton and Hove Motor Club on the success of their efforts each year. I hope that once again they will be favoured with a record crowd and that everyone concerned will have a thoroughly enjoyable day. Mayor August, 1967.
