Southern Autos
Event Report
Malcolm Brown became the fifth different winner in the BTRDA and British car trial championships this year in extremely wet and slippery conditions by winning the fifth round at Milton Keynes, the Southern Autos trial. Lunchtime saw Duncan Stephens leading overall but a retirement in his class saw him finish fourth overall in his classic trials championship leading Melos. Seventy nine year old Brown was very pleased to win for the first time in a couple years. Barrie Parker retained his lead in the British championship by winning the new car class with a brilliant afternoon. John Moffatt closed within a point of Parker with another dominant win in the front wheel drive class from fellow autotester Roger Holder.
