Somehow that article slipped by me... I'll look though my back
isues to see if I can find it.
I would recommend
The National Automotive Museum
10 Lake ST.
Reno, NV 89501
They seem to have a vast library of information about Most
everthing automotive. They were a help when I was putting together
my "Jurrasics in the Park" article on the Philadelphia Stock
Chassis Races early in the last century.
You may have to pay for any fax or xerox copies they do and I
believe there is a fee for them to do the research. I think tthe
NAM was part of Harrahs collection, though I could be wrong.
You could also check with the SCCA's Archives though I'm not sure
how much of the Cal Club archives the have.
Oh yeah, another place to look would be you nearest university
library. Surprisingly, the bulk of my material for the "Jurrasics"
article came from the UofI's main library!

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
