Summary
Pathe synopsis: At Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit we came across an audition for racing drivers. World-famous speedster Reg Parnell was there watching for that extra something that makes all the difference. Irishman Henry Morrogh caught his eye - and Reg gave him the distinction of being the first man to try out the new Bowmaker Cooper. What a day for a young man with 100 mph dreams.
