24th August, Aldershot
Graham Pearce became the third driver to flip his Midget racer when the Bonner outfit got out of control and clipped his car during the third midget race at Aldershot on 24th August. John Houghton's prototype birdcage was also involved. Bonner received slight injuries but was not detailed in hospital, Pearce, after a particularly hairy triple roll, reported a tear in his overalls.

Saturday 22nd September, Ipswich
I've had two programmes for this meeting and neither of them have the results recorded for race one so I wonder if they were not given out over the PA system. All three races were 8 laps however and the cars starting the final were: 1, 3, 4, 22, 15, 6, 14, 8 One of the programmes records that Mick Miller was the top points scorer on the day.
