    I have the 2 magazines leading up to the ARRC in 1966 and 1967. Not willing to part with them, but if you need info let me know.

    Which two issues do you have? I'm looking for race results for the Midwest, Central, Northeast and the East Coast SCCA National and Regional Races for Bob Beinerth in 1966 AP SCCA Class driving a Cobra and a Gene Fisher driving the same Cobra in 1967 SCCA BP races at the same race tracks. Some of the tracks would be Wilmot Hills(Wisconsin), Lime Rock(Conneticut), Elkhart Lake(Road America-Wisconsin), Marlboro(Maryland), Nelson Ledges(Warren-Ohio), Waterford Hills(Michigan), Lynndale Farms(Wisconsin), Cumberland(Conneticut), Mid-Ohio(Ohio), Bridgehampton(New York), Connellsville(Pennsylvania), Thompson(Conneticut), Watkins Glen(New York), Bryar(New Hampshire)

    Hello Erik, I only have a few Competition Press. The one issue I value the most is the late 1964 issue announcing the new Shelby Mustang on the cover. They did not even have the GT-350 name yet. There are two articles on the Shelby Mustang, one questioning if the new Shelby Mustang would get the go ahead for the 1965 racing season. The other was road test with the author very excited about the changes and improvements in handling, braking and acceleration compared to the stock Mustang. It is the only one I have ever seen in thirty years of collecting Shelby litature. Unfortunatly they did not include any photos of the new racer although they did describe the Mustang with it's white with blue stripes paint. The condition is almost perfect for such an old newspaper. I'm not looking to sell it but with E-Bay there is a temptation as any genuine collectable can bring absurd prices no one would believe a few years ago. Good Luck, Bob

    Yep, I have the same issue. The Alfa 33 Periscopica is a neat little car, the start of their 2-3litre sports car dynamos!!!!! Do you have any other issues?
