Bira's next appearance was at the Speed Trials arranged by the United Hospitals and University of London Motor Club and was run off at Gatwick race-course. It took place on Saturday, November 9. The course was the approach road to the horse-race course and the cars and motor-cycles were sent over this stretch one by one. There was a fair number of entries, mostly composed of motor-cycles and sports cars. The proceedings were presided over by the genial and friendly Dr. Benjafield. Bira's E.R.A. attracted much attention amongst spectators. Everyone was given two runs. Bira's best time of 15.80 seconds won the event for racing cars of any size and racing cars of 1,500 c.c. He was awarded two very fine silver tankards, and altogether we had a most entertaining day.
