The Squib Burton Cup

This historic cup is presented annually for a solo motorcycle event chosen by the Committee.

History

C F "Squib" Burton was the winner of Donington Park's first race, on 25th May 1931, riding a 348cc Raleigh. On the 50th anniversary of that victory he presented this Cup to the DPRAC as an annual challenge trophy for solo motor cycles.

The Squib Burton Challenge Trophy is a silver cup, 15 inches high, valued at over £1,000. It was originally the Evening Chronicle Cup, and was competed for by all BDTRA riders and visiting dirt-track teams at the White City track in 1929. Squib Burton won the cup outright.
