Captures Ascot in it's 1973 era. So good to see the place again and hear all those hot rod Triumphs. Interesting way of narrating the whole movie with just the voice of  Roxy Rockwood, who really was a huge part of the whole show. He made facts fun with States the riders came from, to stats and interesting tid bits of racing info. And what a voice, that silky smooth deep baritone of the professional announcer. Todays announcers should take a listen to Roxy. I watch F1 and their announcer, if you could call him that, screams like a chicken on the chopping block, intolerable !
