HE eliminating round at Castlereagh, run in perfect weather as part of Belfast's d Safety Fortnight, attracted 74 entries year. This was about 40 fewer than last the explanation being that some of the ii entries will be competing in the new id at Londonderry on Saturday and be e of the seamen's strike (and consequent of roads) had resulted in a number of nding competitors "pulling in the horns". 'he standard of driving was high and ly previous class winners will be going Iramcote again. In Class B. N. R. Allen (PO Telephones) won his class again, as did J. Smyth (Reed Corrugated Cases) in Class E(1). Smyth beat R. Shields (Yorkshire Imperial Metals) into third place, the latter having figured in this class's placings since the inception of the round.
J. E. Marshall (GPO Postal) came first in Class C, having moved up two classes since last year. when he won the Outright Winner award driving a Class A vehicle. The Outright Winner this year was H. Gibson (Short Bros. and Harland) who won class F(1) with a commendably high index of performance mark at 122.84.
Going to the final again, after a year's absence, will be A. Semple (Esso Petroleum) who came first in Class F(2). Also from Esso, J. A. Lawley drove his tanker into first place in Class H. Overall winner in 1964. Lawley was beaten into third place last year by his rival W. Brown (Shell-Mex and BP), who this year was placed second.
Having only driven their Bedford 3tonners for the first time last week, three lady drivers from 26 Sqn. RCT put up a spirited performance.
One of the three teams entered by GPO Postal won the team trophy.
No penalties were given to 15 drivers for the Highway Code test and 25 drivers completed the 25-mile road route without being penalized. This, perhaps, suggests that a shorter, more exacting course, might be a greater test of skill since a large part of the route is in open country.
Fifteen minutes after the last competitor had completed the tests, the final results were announced and the prize , giving of the splendid array of trophies commenced at 3.20 p.m.
Speaking before the presentations, the national organizing secretary expressed the hope that an eliminating round could be started in Eire next year. A.H.
