Though with it being so long ago it might still be difficult to source something.

Doug, page 12 of my 1999 book, Road America, Five Decades of Racing at Elkhart Lake, has a photo of Hansgen and Crawford exiting corner 12. Tom
Tom, what about the photo on page 39 of your other RA book, showing 3 white Cunningham cars on the transporter going home? 61 & 62 look like knobblies and 60 a Costin bodied car. Do they have to be actually on the circuit together, Doug?

Right, Roger, that was after the 1959 Road America 500. Briggs ran all three that day, with the 1958 Lister numbered 62 the winner driven by Walt Hansgen and Ed Crawford. The second '58 Lister was fourth, while the Costin '59 ran into difficulties and finished far back.Tom, what about the photo on page 39 of your other RA book, showing 3 white Cunningham cars on the transporter going home? 61 & 62 look like knobblies and 60 a Costin bodied car.
