It would appear that the company were keen on taking part in competitions in the pre-war years using a specially prepared racing car. There are no records from the company and they may have entered other events in addition to those detailed below.

SALTBURN SPEED TRIALS - 5 July 1913

Saltburn was a famous venue for beach speed trials. The car won the Cycle Car Challenge Cup and a Gold Medal (the latter still in the possession of the family).

The company boasted of their success in advertisements.

BROOKLANDS - 1913

The car was entered in the August Meeting and took part in the SECOND CYCLE CAR HANDICAP over a distance of 5 3/4 miles. The head start for cars with similar engines (2 cylinder 1,000cc approx) ranged from 6 seconds to 40 seconds. The Winco, driven by JC Stringer, had 24 second start.

The Winco was unplaced.

The Cyclecar magazine noted: "The extraordinarily long tail of the Winco was much commented on, as the mechanic was accommodated with a seat in it behind the driver."

BROOKLANDS - 1914

The racing car was entered in the 1914 Whit Monday Race at Brooklands, driven by the designer, G.E. Bullock. It won the Light Car Handicap.

The race was fully described in the Light Car Magazine.

There is also reference to the race in William Boddy's book - Brooklands, The Complete Motor Racing History.

In this picture of the start the car can be seen 4th from the right, dwarfing many of the competitors vehicles.

The cup won is still in the possession of the family.
