Peter Blankstone

The Peter Blankstone Trial was originally created by some keen members of the Midland Automobile Club (MAC) in the late seventies, namely trialling stalwarts including Bob Dayson, Roy Lane (who was also a multiple Hillclimb champion who enjoyed his trialling in the winter), and Peter Blankstone. Originally sited a couple of miles away (anyone remember the concrete track?) from the famous speed hillclimb track, the bracken covered slopes above the car parking area at Shelsley became the tempting alternative and run annually has proved to be one of the most popular events in the trialling calendar
