Elwyn Rees 1953, on the AJS 7R he bought from Eddie Stephens & which earlier Eddie had provided for Emrys Walters to race. Elwyn's lap time from this very circuit was 4min. 46 secs. setting up the fastest practice lap at 65.45 mph before lunch even with an elusive & intermittent clutch slip which later in practice threw Elwyn & broke both ankles....The intermittent fault was finally traced to the screw cap cover of the gearbox sometimes fouling the operating lever within & Elwyn although shortly after Epynt journeying to the Isle of Man on Crutches was allowed to start the Junior Manx Grand Prix with an assisted push start , he turned in a fine performance too.
