Save The Brighton Speed Trails....

[popeye]

I need your help to save the Brighton Speed Trials - the longest running motorsport event in the UK. It is under threat by Brighton and Hove Council who want to refuse permission and block the event taking place on the seafront.

 

 

 

You can help by signing our petition and sharing the link with friends: http://tinyurl.com/qjtbmub. Don't delay; the council will be making a decision on 23 January 2014!

 

 

 

You may not be aware but the Speed Trials has been running in Brighton since 1905 and is an entertaining fun-packed day out for the whole family to watch some of the UK's best race cars and motor bikes compete along Madeira Drive. Over two hundred cars and motor bikes line up to take a timed run including road cars, race cars and drag bikes who compete to win the fastest in their class. A top six run-off to find the fastest car and bike brings the day to a dramatic close.

 

 

 

Don't let the council block the event, please sign the petition and spread the word.

 

 

 

Many thanks

 

Committee B&HMC

They want to ban it due to a female passenger being killed at an event, bike engined car versus lampost i belive .

Ban bike engine cars. Simple! With the best will in the world I doubt a few signatures on a petition will make the slightest bit of difference. Councils no longer care about what others think of their ideas, sign of the times.

 

Only thing that might make them reconsider is the amount of money they would lose from the event.

 

Shame though. Another long motoring tradition on its way down the drain.

if the government an local counsils had there way they would ban enjoyment of any kind as it might be dangerous it does your head in entrants an spectators know the risks but still take part the amount of people run over buy buses on there push bike is

unreal but they dont ban either motorsport is alot controlled enviroment but insist on trying to ban it

[Mgentry90]
