ENTRIES FOR THE MATTHEW PERCY MEMORIAL TROPHY RACE, SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE ON JUNE 13th AT THE CLAY PIGEON RACEWAY, ARE FILLING UP FAST !

This Race has been competed for since 1991 ( 29 years), where Ron Shone won the inaugural race with the current holder being Taylor Waldron.   The gold trophy was donated by Win  Percy ( father of Matthew)  and has been competed for every year since in memory of Matthew,  who died tragically in a Motor Traffic Accident.  Matthew was an ardent competitor,  as both a Junior and Senior driver,  in the Two Counties Club Championship and has his name on several of the Clubs’ annual trophies.  The  ‘Percy’ Trophy itself is the exact one,  won by Win Percy and Tom Walkinshaw in the European Touring Car Championship at Autodrome di Vallelunga
( in Italy)  in 1985.  The original inscription is still on the Trophy,  to add to the history and mystique of the event.
