Harcombe}, Thank you for your letter of the 25th. I am sorry I have not replied before but I have been away. I think that if you get on the inside of the course at Ulster you will be able to walk round and see the race from various points. Bradshaw's Brae is quite near the grand stand. If you took a taxi out to Newtownards at the beginning of the race and watch from there, you can walk in via Bradshaw's Brae and see the whole of one length of the course. I am afraid there is no chance of your getting in the pits as a special pass is necessary for this and they are more or less unobtainable. Yours sincerely, | ||
