Sound like a similar story to mine! Being Canadian and half Quebecer
and
half Scottish and spending much of my mispent youth in La Belle
Province,
I was lucky enough to race at St. Jovite when it opened and was Quebec
Champion in Sports cars in 1965 I think it was. Enough of me, I am
looking for an old Book Published in Sherbrooke by a motorsports writer
by
the Name of Len Coates. The book was limited in circulation, but being
an
automotive sort of guy, I thought you may have some idead where to find
or
may have one that I could purchase from you or someone who is an
automotive book type, I would like it for my grandchildren who have no
idea what racing in Canada and Europe was like in 60's.. Oh so many
stories to tell and no talent to do it. The book is titled "
Challenge,
The story of Canadian Road Racing". Perhaps some one knows the
whereabouts of Len Coates.
Again Thank you for any help you can give.
