Did you know that the first international Roadrace in Britain after the second World war took place in Ballyrobert in 1937. It moved to Dundrod in 1948

Paul’s latest book which is just out will be on sale on the night.

Paul was recently invited to an event at the Town Hall in Ballyclare to commemorate the 80th aniversary of the 1946 International Ulster Trophy Race. He gave a well recieved presentation about the Ballyclare races and was able to take along some rare items from their archives as well as the actual Ulster Trophy. There was a great turnout of cars from the era, the event was well attended and all in all a very sucessful day.
