I was emailed this over Christmas so thought I'd pass it on. Seems a shame to me that they want to end over a century of tradition. I've duly signed it and ask you to do the same if you feel similarly.
SAVE THE BRIGHTON SPEED TRIALS
Please read, sign the petion and pass this request to as many people that you know who might be prepared to support this petition. Thank You!
We need your help to save the Brighton Speed Trials - the longest running motorsport event in the UK . It is under threat by Brighton and Hove Council who want to refuse permission and block the event taking place on the seafront.
You can help by signing our petition and sharing the link with friends:

You may not be aware but the Speed Trials has been running in Brighton since 1905 and is an entertaining fun-packed day out for the whole family to watch some of the UK 's best race cars and motor bikes compete along Madeira Drive . Over two hundred cars and motor bikes line up to take a timed run including road cars, race cars and drag bikes who compete to win the fastest in their class. A top six run-off to find the fastest car and bike brings the day to a dramatic close.
Don't let the council block the event, please sign the petition and spread the word.
Many thanks
ARTHUR
