Some of the Winners
An entirely new model 16 hp Humber entered by Mr. J.S. Cordingley, of
Haslingden. Driven by his son, Mr J.H. Cordingley, proved successful in class C,
doing the fastest time and winning on handicap terms.
Mr J Higginson’s “La Buire” did the fastest time of the day, 1 min 1-3/5 seconds,
but was unsuccessful on handicap formula, though he had the satisfaction of
being the main factor in winning the team race for the Manchester Cup and
taking the cup for the fastest time.
The distance was one kilometre - 1093 yards – and there were six competitions,
five of these being in classes arranged for various classes and powers of cars.
Thirty-two entered and twenty-eight competed. The engine rating on formula
was in some cases less than nominal.
