Pete Hylton, SCCA Historian, can provide race research for drivers. If you
give him details he can narrow down the search. He charges $25.00/driver.
If Chuck Sheilds was the driver I am sure that he can find details of your
car.

I have the name of one other person that can conduct searches and has access
to the microfiche of Competition press.
I have the other address at work. Let me know if you are interested and I
will forward these to you on Monday.
