Where can I obtain video footage of Nov. 12, 1966 USAC Race at Ascot Park in Gardenia Ca.?

I have searched high %26amp; low for some sort of video footage or literary publication including a pictorial of the November 12, 1966 USAC Race at Ascot Park in Gardenia, Ca. A fatal crash took the lives of two USAC Sprint Car Drivers, Dick Atkins (the father of a very close friend of mine) and veteran driver Don Branson. Any suggestions to help me locate this material will be greatly appreciated.

If your looking for footage of the actual crash, you might have trouble, as most highlight videos do not show fatal wrecks.Call 1-800-874-4488 if they dont have it they might know someone who does. good luck. If it was a race in the late 80's i could have helped, as i never missed a race the last three years the track was open, and video taped most of um. Ascot was a special place. I miss the track, the drivers and the people terribly. (heck, i even named my dog Ascot lol)
Reply:Try Youtube
Reply:I used to race in California. Had to look for you. I found two links with Branson and Atkins. It may not be the crash, but it is probably a good start.
