RattleSnake Hill Climb June 2nd 1956

[AC Ace Bristol]

.
   .
   Received  the following  email from Mike Martin,  have deleted some content ,  But thought those who enjoy researching Period material of AC Aces  Competing at various Race and Hill climb events in the 1950s   Would really appreciate the little Gem. of 3;29 minutes of Super 8mm colour  footage taken by Marks Dad on 2nd June 1956, copied and down loaded on youtube. (not all data here opens up but the video does)
   
   Martin Thank you for sharing.
   And a Bigger thank you to Mark for making his Dad's ....... Super 8mm Film available.   ..[;)]
   
   Hi Keith,
   
   Long time.  I wish you the best in 2013.
   
   I'm not sure if you belong to the Canadian Motorsport History Group, but thought I'd pass along the info below, just in case.
   
   My USRRC  book is in the final proof stages.  It's taking longer than I thought, but the end is in sight.
   
   
   Regards,
   
   Mike Martin
