I remember your posting those last year. SCCA access is definitely as good as it gets. > I finally put together about a dozen of my favorite race shots and put > them on my flickr account ...

(Although if it's the tub I think it is, it was never actually driven by Mario at any Formula One event). The helmet in the Villeneuve #27 isn't one of Jacques' as far as I know - was this at a historic event? I assume so, because I recognise several of the cars, but none of the helmets. I've got a photo of Jacques in the #27 taken (in 1995) at the last CART race at Loudon, NH, and he was wearing his distinctive pink & blue helmet colours. I've been putting together a gallery myself, for at least the last couple of years. Somehow it never seems to get that last bit done. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
