Please post some of your footage on youtube. I love this stuff. My family has gone to RA since it's beginning and in fact my dad was involved in paving the track. I also have raced my shifterkart there several times and my brother has raced his motorcycle there as well.

This is neat stuff. I wonder if the owners of present day Road America have footage like this on hand? Thanks.

Its weird we have some footage like that on our home movies my fatherraced also in the 60`s,thanks for posting such history.
Red #35 near the end of the video is a 1957 Elva MK II (driven by Charlie Kolb or Chucj Ditriech) so this your father's video was also probably also taken in 1957.

Thanks for info. I used labels on film for titles so they could be incorrect.
