Do any TNF members keep back NSSN copies? I am looking for the complete qualifying times
of Mid - Ohio on June 10, 1979, Sears Point on May 25, 1980, Brainerd on August 10, 1980,
Road Atlanta on September 7, 1980. In daily newspapers?
1979 & 1980 CAN - AM races in National Speed Sport News?

Sterzo, I am still at sea.
The qualifying times in the Motor Sport database are not complete.
Actually, many years ago I sent transcriptions of 1980 SCCA timing sheets to Old Racing Cars.
However, sheets of these races are not available. The September 7 date of the 1980
Road Atlanta CAN - AM should be corrcect.

island knows this subject well, so he'll be looking to fill gaps in his very impressive database.
For example, ORC only has the first seven qualifying times at Mid-Ohio, 10 June 1979:
https://www.oldracin.../1979/mid-ohio/
top ten at Sears Point, 25 May 1980:
https://www.oldracin...80/sears-point/
top seven at Brainerd, 10 Aug 1980:
https://www.oldracin.../1980/brainerd/
and only top four at Road Atlanta 7 Sep 1980:
https://www.oldracin...0/road-atlanta/
Can anyone help island with these gaps?
