Lets see here, in a recent post Jon A says he has no brother, and now Joe A says his motion is seconded by his brother.  Could these two be from Arkansas where everyone is a cousin, or have these two ever met?  Bikers, you got to love em...............

Bob.
Joe lives in the frozen north (Rapid City) Jon lives in the frozen area of Denver, they still deliver mail by dog sled and they deny knowing each other if it's in there favor. But they look a lot alike so maybe.........
guess we will let JonBoy or Jimmy JoeBob answer for us.

They have a brother in San Diego, so there is hope.

Not too much of what is in 3-6 is in the rulebook right? All the stuff I research when asked about the past or such has none of 3-6. People call for pics all the time and I send them to other sources. I've never heard of #6 ever being done, and I've held multiple records...Good luck with the CD. After the first one all his buddies will get one for free.

There's a bit of Burt Munroe in all of us...I'd take a CD if there's a pic of me in it...who do I send the money to?

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.

its only business; one from which I stand to gain nothing but knowledge and history.

the things you mention you cant get from the past... now have a way to be preserved in the now so that when your grandson wants to find out what the trophy or plaque looked like I won in 2007, he would have a way to research it and appreciate it.

bbb: The SCTA moved about every 3 or 4 years sometimes longer so nothing was kept. Thanks to a few we have a way to look them up..Lucky for us, some collected or found copies of programs, results etc.

But like I said "private" Thay have no reason to copy them to anything and I don't blame them. Every few years in this day and age a 'new' lectronic system become the norm and the saved stuff is hard to read or can't be. So paper is best.

Since you want your grandson to ba able to look up what something looked like maybe you had better start saving the results on the internet right now. They are there for the last few years. As for me I will print a copy and save it right along with all the old mimeograph copies from the past. My grandson won't have that problem he will just walk into his dad's garage and look at the pictures on the wall and look at the trophies on the shelf.

I'm not like the others I have never thrown anything like that away. Good Luck but I wouldn't rely on any one to do something like that for me.

best of luck with your racing next year.
consider this inquiry "lost interest."

Well, in that case I will not pursue the rulebook to cd project. bbb, you were the spark plug for the thread, appears the wire fell off.

Sure glad that Jack, JD and I have saved and collected for years for our kids and grandkids have the real history not a plastic disk. With what we have we could start a museum.

[jimmy six]

All-What I look at is not mine even though I contributed some to it. Like  I say each time it's a privilege

Jim M. is compiling a lot of stuff, thousands of pictures from private collections which is great...

I believe some of the other collections were for personal gain. These probably won't pan out because I (we) look this stuff up for free.

Jack D's memory is like a steel trap and mine is like a flushing toilet so I need the paper. (not for wipping)...J.D.

dan,

I see it this way;

2-3 gentleman who have the preverbial ball have no interest in sharing with the masses and have said as much. progress muted.

more than 1,100 views to this thread and only 28 posts by a handful of the same people. either people have an interest in seeing what may come of it because they want information more easily accessible to them or its the deadwood of the scta looking in to see if their accumulated history is safely protected to paper and tangible product.
