Big crowd at Boreham
A big crowd watched the racing at Boreham on May 26th, a circuit that may replace Silverstone. After Poore’s Alfa-Romeo had passed him on the very slippery course, Parnell (Maserati) hit a straw bale in the big race; he recovered well and finished third. Winners: XK120 HANDICAP: Howarth. M.G.
