Check out this link. It is in my opinion the best source on the net for vintage open wheel pics.

More specifically, go to groups.yahoo.com and search for RacingHistory (all one word). A number of IOW members are also RH members.

Note that RH is limited to discussions of open wheel racing before 1970.

If you can tap into Al Consoli's pics, you will see some of the most beautiful pictures of some of the most famous cars and drivers that ever raced in the modern era. My favorite is Al SR. in the Johnny Lightning dirt car.

Go to ebay or your local library.....

Find a copy of Joe Scalzo's "Stand on the Gas"; it's a good read on sprint racing a while back.....
