    How about a little help. Was this movie taken at a SAAC convention? Maybe which one, or, a drag strip?, or, a track?
    We'd all love to help.

    The photos posted at that link are from a home movie that was filmed about forty years ago at a road track up in Michigan by my father. Circa Summer 1966. The R-Model #31 has been identified at 5R0002, but the other two R-Models in the photos have not. The #3 and the #174. I was just hoping somebody out there might know any history on these cars.
    thanks!
