F1 and Le Mans racing was my passion when i was a kid.
Our soccer coach, at Paris American High School, had a relative on the Ford Le Mans crew. 4 of us got to see, close up, Ford win in 1966. A month before the race we drove over the public roads of the track, and the day before the race we were able to walk all over the pit area.
We slept rough on the grounds, beating the massive traffic jams.
Of course, being a stupid kid...I never carried a camera for that event. ..and have only 2 pictures of my 4 yrs in Paris!(1 soccer team picture, and one pic of my date and I for our prom on the Eiffel Tower, in the Jules Verne restaurant.) My stupidity, still amazes me....no camera! Ever! Like I was ever going to see this stuff again!
Jimmy Clark, was my guy.
