Those who have followed this thread over the last 5 years or so will remember that I was trying to get in contact with Ed Clements who was the Editor of Pit Pass magazine (1958/1960- 18 editions) and was ACtively involved with motor racing and a prolific photograher...[

Unfortunately even though Contact was made by both Fran and by John Lucke, Nothing materialised, (reference this thread july 2011) attached below..[

This evening Out of the Blue.... Ed Clements Son stumbled upon this thread...[:p]
Hi! I was looking for something online and somehow wound up on your webpage-
I didn't read the whole thread, it is long, long, long;-)
Ed is my dad, and he is not a talker. Ever. And he has had an amazing and astounding life, so there is stuff we just don't really know to ask about.
Although reading one of the history pages- it was almost a shock, I remember the races being loud and LONG. But had no real perspective till I hit your page. Gio, was up until 15 minutes ago, just a family friend who pinched my cheek too hard!
I know my mom has pictures from the races, and she is a better choice for hunting up stuff and responding or my brother if you actually want to speak to someone who knows anything;-) I am useless:-)
You do have my dad's correct email, so I am not sure if he did respond to you. I sent him an email-

Met up with Fran for Lunch and trip out in BEX333. Fran has known Ed Clemments for a while but unable to bring any new material over to UK due to series of travel and personel committments, simply ran out of time. However did bring over from Canada the book "The Chequered Past" Sports car racing & rallying 1951-1991... by David Charters. 345 pages on development of Canadian Motor Sport, Culture and Social life. Very few pictures but full of Facts on circuits, drivers teams and politics, will take a while to read through and follow up new potential leads.
Long term plan, As Fran lives close to Ed she will keep in contact with him and hopefully secure racing details and photos of the various Ace Bristol's Raced in and around the race tracks in the region of Vancouver during mid 1950s through early 1960s.
Ed Clemments definitely raced a Ace, Knew and competed against Jim Parsons, Al Doyon, Bob Constabaris, Ken Miller & Dr Clausing.
However due to house moves and now being in his 83rd year it may take some time to find photos and general race data, assuming it/they haven't been discarded over the years.[]
Thank you Fran for your company and for offering to keep in contact with Ed Clemments when you get back home in Vancouver. Really
appreciated.
