Think WPIX was Channel 11. Interesting to hear his voice,seemed to have an accent somewhat.
Henry Austin Clark was an original. A full on car guy, he was fully American, had a big home on Long Island with the most complete automotive library I’ve ever seen, and among other interests, was a founding board member of the Bridgehampton Road Racing Corporation, builder and owner of Bridgehampton Race Circuit. He was our most interesting landlord when we ran it 1971-84
Hi Howard,
Wonderful find! It was great for me to finally see and hear the great and late Mr. Clark, Jr. Hope that somewhere out there is more film footage with audio of Mr. Clark.
Thank you.
