2018 Cannonball Run
Many members will have read about Kevin Waters' exploits in completing his

second Cannonball run on his 1915 machine. It was a great result and actually

Kevin was tantalizingly close to winning his class. He is convinced that he now

has the knowledge to ensure a Sunbeam first place the next time the bike is

entered. The 1931 cut off has been changed to 1929 which will make the older

machines more competitive.

Understandably Kevin cannot commit to another run but has very generously

made the offer of his fully prepared 1915 machine to a Club member to complete

the run in September 2018. The Club has also agreed to support the entrant with

a contribution towards the preparation of the machine. The member will also

benefit from Kevin's knowledge and experience gained from his two successful

runs.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and will be a great experience for the

lucky member as well as great publicity for the marque. However time is of the essence as deposits need to be in by 14th March so please act quickly if you are tempted.
