Bristol Power Boat Grand Prix

[Min-T]

Guys & Gals
I've started a group on Facebook titled Bristol Power Boat Grand Prix. It's for anyone who's interested, got photo's and memories they want to share. Maybe there are some racers out there who faced Bristol's fearsome course and like to add their experiences.
Following is the link to the group -

Hopefully see you there.
Cheers

Hi Tremlett
Would it be ok if I post your pics on the Facebok group? Either that or please join yourself and post them, the more the merrier.
Cheers

Mike, if you go to the group, there is a short interview with your brother in one of the videos, plus a couple of other pics of him.

Once you've circuit raced with a canopy you wouldn't go back.

Have you tried going to the `circuit` album in the Multimedia section (Graham`s Library).There are many Bristol pics there.Also in the next batch of films to be added to the library it will include 30 min documentaries on Bristol 74,75,76,77 & 78.These films have been prepared ready for Jon to transpose to the library,which ain`t a five minute job,so we are in his hands.

Fondly remember this one of Steve's made from exotic materials and not so much wood and glue and seemed to have the habit of taking to the sky ?

Before you go charging off Mini-T,downloading as is your want,you should be aware that without reference to The Boatmad Gallery under each pic would be taken as pretty bad form.Not much to ask for a freebie.
