Awsome Scott! I grew up during those times and was reading about those early national events as they were happening. The ordinary guy could make things happen in most of the forms of racing. Exciting times and great memories. Keep digging up those videos!

Here are some old 8 MM movies of Car Shows from the late '50's with great music. Three movies about 5 minutes each. Hope the link works! Not Bonneville related, but some Midget racing.
