Observed Section Trials
(Mud Trials or Sporting Trials in
other parts of the world) are an integral part of the
Austin 7 Club. Austin 7s are no longer driven in OST
competition, except for the odd exhibition run, and trials
cars are now highly specialised cars, built to a specific
formula & utilising modern components.
The most famous trial, originally
named the Park Orchards Trial because of its location in the
Melbourne outer suburb of Park Orchards (now covered in
houses) has been relocated and named The John Pryce Memorial
Trial, in honour of the renowned Club member who introduced
the sport to Australia in 1950.
Around 12 trials are held annually.
Entry Fees are very low, admittance to trials is always
free and new members are always welcome. Trials Car
Passengers are mandatory and we often need new member
volunteers for this.
We
are always pleased to help anyone wanting to build a trials
car. Give anyone on the
trials committee
a call, and see Grant Campbell's advice on trials cars
here.
