Sunday 19th May - Ipswich
Preview by 'The Informer' from Spedeweek number 15

The International meeting here at Ipswich this Sunday is the first Midget meeting of its kind to be staged in this country. I am told that we have drivers from Holland, Germany and Belgium as well as our friends from the MARC. I think the lads coming over from the Continent will give us a good run for our money. For a start their cars have slightly bigger engines and are a little longer wheelbased than ours. Engines currently being used include BMW, Fiat and NSU. When our lads went over last year for the European Championship which was held at Kaldenkirchen in Germany they had a heard time beating the extra power of the continental Midgets. I only hope the weather remains fine because the Midgets can really give you some excitement.
