My dad has a Questor Gran Prix program. I'll be seeing him tomorrow and I'll see if I can pry it from his hands. Doubtful.

1966 Indy 500 is my oldest program. But last week I found an unexpected stash: my long-lost plastic USAC credentials case from the '70s crammed with "stuff" from USAC's 1978 season & my CBS Sports ID from the '78 F1 US Toyota Grand Prix ("East").
One unused ticket to the '78 USAC National Awards Banquet in Indy, season schedule for the '78 USAC 'City Corp National Champ Series' (looks like I made every race from Ontario to Phoenix), pit pass for '78 Gould Grand Prix 150 & IROC at Michigan, USAC scorer's id for '78 'Machinist Union 150 USAC Nat'l Champ Race/Mini-Indy Super Vee 100 K' at the old Trenton Speedway.
Also gate/Tower passes from the '78 'Toyota Grand Prix' at the Glen. Attached was my 'CBS Sports' id from the Grand Prix series with nice graphics & the slogan: "There's a Little Bit of Grand Prix in Every Celica."
There was more inside the case, but that pack of items brought back MEMORIES of Champ car racing on the eve of the CART/USAC war.

The oldest program I have is from a 1947 Championship car race in Bainbridge Ohio. I have the complete set of Clymer Indy Yearbooks from 1946-1968 and also a complete set of programs from every single race ever run at Michigan Intl. Speedway since it opened in 1968. I didn't start going to races until the 70's, so anything earlier than that I bought on e bay etc.

1977 Danbury Racearena, my father used to take me to see the Modifieds as a kid.
Danbury State Fair and Danbury Racearena, Danbury CT, bulldozed in 1982 and replaced with a shopping mall.
I have never been to Connecticut, but I always heard Danbury was really cool!

Certainly less cool since 82
