Event Coverage 56 nationals, Does anyone have pics, vidoes or whatever pertaining to the event?

My 32 roadster was raced by my uncle (when the car was his) at that event.

its a fullfendered, highboy, black 32 with white running boards + top.

he usually raced it in B/SR but due to the engine being setback NHRA made him install a rollbar (while at the event) and race in B/R. he didnt do too well being that he had to race cars without fenders that were alot more modified then his.

I have the program with the car entry listed, along with all of his time slips and sticker with the cars info and ET + speed

I already have bought every magazine possible that had event coverage with no luck finding a pic of the car.

id love to find a video and or pictures of the event possibly spying the car either racing or in the background.

but im open to any pics from that event being posted just for nostaglia purpose

thank you
Tony
