SPORTS CAR TRIALS APPROVED
The following letter was laid before the Board by President Darden:
Charlottesville
5 April 1956
The University Sports Club would like for you to request permission of the
Board for the Club to conduct sports car trials on Observatory Mountain sometime
early next fall.
The officers assured me that all precautions for safety were required by the
Sports Car Club of America, of which the University Club is a member, such as the
wearing of safety belts, helmets and the placing of bales of straw on the curves.
No races would be conducted by only time trials by individual cars. Participants
must be 21 years of age before being eligible to compete, which would eliminate the
majority of our students.
President
University of Virginia
After discussion the Board resolved that the University Sports Club be authorized to proceed
with the trials, it being understood that the Club would observe the precautions set forth in Mr.
Shea's letter.
