A GRA member asking who rode that outfit????? None other than Alec Wright. Those 2 were the only survivors after the 2nd Day of the 3 Day trial. Alec did a major top end job to continue in the trial, somehow finished and got best 250cc Sidecar, with Jack Clarke's 350 Enfield as the overall s/c winner.
79 was J.H. Bull of Bristol, who won a Bronze medal. 77 was Jim Sandiford's mount and 73 was ridden by Bill Wilkinson. These latter 2 were riding in a parallel ACU selection event and despite the extra tasks set them, Jim was clean at the end, so Gold standard, while Bill dropped 11 marlks, so went down to Silver standard.
