Another year goes by and no sign of any Ultima's at the Brighton speed trials.
Is entry too difficult or doesn't anybody fancy it? The GT40 crowd always put on a great showing, along with a fair few Cobra's. Why no Ultima's?

I am planning an assault on Brighton next year. I am only about 10 miles away and have been attending the trials as a spectator for the past 20 years now. There are some regulars that are friends of mine ( Simon Sapstead normally in his Vauxhall powered NSU and Gary Passingham and his 800bhp Skyline to name just a couple ) and many others have attended over the years and although not cheap, being so local it must be done yes.
The surface being a public road along the seafront is notoriously bad for traction but if I am unable to break into the 10's, my mood along with the GTW is likely to be oh so very BLACK.
