Late 1960 Races

[David D.]

I am looking at some old photos from Meadowdale Raceway Oct 68(IL), Elkhart Lake Can Am Sept 68 (WI), MAR March 69 (MO), Daytona 24 Hrs Feb 69. What is the best source for copies of programs for these races?

Re: Late 1960 Races

Ebay is by far the best source. I have found very few digital copies of old race programs elsewhere on the internet.

I have found a number of west coast race programs on ebay relevant to my race car (a 57 that was raced in Northern CA - Laguan Seca, Sears Point, Cotati, etc - from 1967 thru 1972). You just need to look all the time. For example, I search the following on a consistent basis:

Laguna 196*
Laguna 197*

David, sometimes Walt Miller (AutoLit.com IIRC) and other literature sources have programs. I picked up 1960 LeMans and other programs that way.

Re: Late 1960 Races

The hard cover book "Can Am Thunder" has lots of Elkhart Lake Can Am photos in it. The new L88 book has good Elkhart Lake photos, too.

One year at the Road America vintage races a fellow brought a bunch of prints from the 60's and 70's that a photographer took. His ink stamp was on all of them. I bought some because a vintage race Corvette I owned was in them. I let them go with the car. Meadowdale was included in many of the photos.

I agree John. I talked with an older gentleman that I think is the head of the facility and he remembered Ed Lowther and remembered when he was there with my car and found a copy of the results. Very nice people. Jerry

Just a suggestion, but if you list these searches in your "favorites" section of the "my ebay" page, you can then set your preferences for ebay to send YOU an email when items matching these searches show up. This will keep you from having to look all the time.

Re: Late 1960 Races

Thanks guys, some of these days when I get these photos better organized I will post the races that are included and the years. So far I have boxes labeled Sebring 64, Lake Garnett 64, Greenwood, IA 64, Stuttgart, AR 64, Independence, KS, CDR, CO MAR but the slides may be a little mixed. Shots of all cars, not just Corvettes. Total of 13 boxes, about 100 slides per.
