Racing In Europe

Peter Breingan, son of Mr and Mrs J. F. Breingan, 81 Chalmers Road, has been in England for two years now. During each of the last two summer racing seasons he has been having considerable success with his motor bike racing on the Continent. His latest venture was in the Karvina International Road Race in Czechoslovakia, where he gained third place in the 500cc class. He gained his placing against factory riders riding works machines, which was more than commendable, as Peter was using his own built-up bike.
