    Back around 1975 our club [L.S.C.O.R.A.] here on Lake St Clair made a local race film. Your Dad [Dan] even showed parts of it on a local TV station back then. For many years I have tried to find who had it, with no luck. I did find a few old local races on Beta tapes, now we need to recopy them to DVD before they are lost forever. I do have a copy, of a copy, of some other early races but like Phil said they have not held up well with time. Here are a few pic's I have made from those race films.
