I'm jealous. For 14 years I was a corner marshall at Watkins Glen in New York, former home of the US Gran Prix. Everyone says "Gee you must have some great pictures!" but being on the front lines, there was no time for a camera. http://www.home.aone.net.au/audiobias/P7271177mc.jpg shows why. Haven't taken any motorsports pictures in over 20 years. jm - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
