| To Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Ulster Tourist Trophy. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E25.6.34 I attach E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/HP.19.6.34 which is self-explanat-ory; I understood in the first place that the Ulster T.T. Race was a race for standard cars. I should be glad if you would tell me about this, i.e. are we safe in doing all this special work? If so, what is the definition in the Rules of a standard car? I have read somewhere that superchargers are not allowed. Is this the only thing that is prohibited? Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/HP.19.6.34 | ||
