FROM THE ARCHIVES
Record Attempts on the New Cut
Prior to the annual attempts week on Lake Windermere and Coniston Water, speed records were set on a 2.5 mile straight on the New Cut linking the Rivers Yare and Waveney between St Olaves and Reedham. The one day event was held in September 1937 and two national records were broken in class A ( 250cc) at 37.46 mph and B class (350cc) at 37.07 mph by Oulton Broad M.B.C. commodore Edward Treglown, both with Johnson power on a Crandell hydroplane.
The plan was to make this an annual event but was never repeated following the commencement of WW2. M.W.
