1981 Brighton, 24 Hour Track Race

This race, held on 23rd-24th May, was sponsored by the Endeavour Motor Co. and became known as the “Endeavour 24 hours” .

Only 20 of the 26 entrants toed the line, notable absentees being, Emile Alomaine C470 and the very good French walker, Alain Moulionet. The event was somewhat spoilt by persistent rain, therefore no records were set, but nevertheless the first 3 all got above 120 miles, with local man Dave Boxall in 4th place just short. The winner with an excellent 129 miles was Geoff Tranter C507, from the other 13 who lasted the distance. 11 completed 100 miles, the only new man being George Beecham C716 of Belgrave Harriers.
