Readers’ Letters

Tyrell appreciated

I would like to extend my compliments to Adam Rear on the Tyrell Smith article in the November 2019 issue of TCM.

As a fellow Dubliner greatly interested in the subject of Tyrell, I felt it was well researched and well written.

You can’t fit everything in of course, but like so many other top notch racers of the period, Tyrell was also a trials man in the winter. He entered the ISDT on a Manxman and won a gold medal in Wales in 1938.

I thought readers might like to see this postcard that Tyrell sent to Mrs Woods, Stanley’s mother, in 1928. In the Senior that year, Tyrell finished fourth and Stanley finished fifth.
