bbb: there are many historians, it just depends on what you want to know. Are there results available for Bonneville and El Mirage. Yes. They are in private collections which were aquired over many years. I have priviliage to look at one every week.
If some one needs info on a old car or what their grandfather, father, uncle, etc. did it can be found. A replacement trophy, cert, timing tag, etc: forget it. A copy of the page where your dad ran in 1952, sure no sweat.
We are not a bunch of meanies and paper is a good thing. Save your old stuff. Look what Jack Mickelson's 1946/7 stuff went for on E-Bay last week. Nice pictures but I don't have $1000+ to spend that way. $800 for Pith helmet? wow.....J.D.
