There is a video available of the history of the circuit and it has scenes from that race...

I can't put my hands on my copy right now, but I'm sure others will have seen it.

Cliff Reuter's fascinating Et Ceterini web site has both the program cover and the full results from the 1956 June Sprints listed at:

However, I caution you that the narrative from Sports Car magazine that accompanies the cover and results is the race report for that September's Road America events, and not from the June Sprints.

I also have a few color slides from the 1956 June Sprints. Send me a PM if you are interested in purchasing any.

EDIT: Just discovered that ERault beat me to it; his link one post above is to the same place as the link I posted. If nothing else it tells you that it is a good source.

By the way, it is Elkhart Lake, with a T.
