Other than the occasional drawings found in model magazines (eg.Sale Model
Enthusiast, etc. I may have the exact title wrong). there aren't a lot
of scale drawings around.  Many of the race cars were "one-off"
entities and came about with almost no formal design involvement.
I'd say that was/is especially true of sprints, midgets, etc.)

Your best source for details, etc. would probably be old photographs
found in old car racing magazines, etc.
