Racing at Ards Circuit Northern Ireland 1928 - 1936

[Colin Wilks]

A friend came across these in his father's effects and sent me photographs of the originals. Some notable names in the list of entries from 18th August 1928 include a pre knighthood Captain Malcolm Campbell in a Bugatti, Frazer Nash in a car of that ilk, Kaye Don in a Lea Francis and Tim Birkin in a Bentley, plus one J D Barnes in the only Austin Seven.
There was a catastrophic pile up in 1936 when six people died, after which there was no more racing at Ards.
I'm not sure how well the photos will come out on here, so if anyone wants further and better particulars please pm me.
