No idea who the person / persons were.
But my father raced in the midwest from the early 60's to the late 70's (SCCA Central Division) and about half the photos in the scrap books are Stamped Action Ltd. proofs.
Not sure where they did work but there are shots from Wilmot Hills, Road America and Blackhawk Farms in his albums
As I recall about a week or so after most race weekends a pack of small wallet size proof pics. would come in the mail with Action Ltd. in blue ink stamped on the front and a number penciled on the back to order larger prints.
pic from 60's has, Action Limited , 4104 Crestview Drive, Rockford Illinois 61107 stamped on it
and from the 70's Action Ltd. 8443 East 13th Street Indianapolis Ind. 46219

Wouldn't the name suggest that the person or persons were of British origin or is the term Ltd or Limited current in the USA?

Try Companies House online, they'll tell you if they have a file on microfiche.

Tom, Action Ltd. is very familiar, I'll ask around.
Searching the forum for photographer marks again, so you can offer proper money for images, and then when it's time to buy change the offer to a penny on the dollar like you did with me?
Cretinous.
