Hi friend.  I am looking for a NG article that featured racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats that was written between 1955-65. The article featured a picture of my father standing on a bus watching the races.  We lost our only copy and nobody can remember what issues it was in.  Any help, advice or wisdom in identifying the issue and finding the a copy would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You need to be more specific; I checked, there is no article on this at that time period (I have the whole series).

Kent,

I checked the digital archives of the Nat Geo Magazine and could not find your picture between 1955-1965. I do remember seeing a picture  like that in the past but I too do not remember what year it was.

Kent,

The only reference to Bonneville I can find is in the June 1985 issue.  On page 713 is a photo of a racer at the salt flats.
