Gary, while my story is not as sad as yours, I did work as the track reporter for both Edgewater and Tri-State from about 1980-94, had boxes full of photos all the greatest drag racers of the era as well as our local racers who many haved passed on since then. Nearly everything was destroyed when my basement was flooded in the mid '90's.

Here is a pic from a few years ago, car still looks the same...
