[Leica] IMG Don's PAW 28 Peachtree Road Race images

[glehrer at san.rr.com (Jerry Lehrer)]

Don,

Road race!  My road rage!  I was expecting to see lots of  Porsches,  
Ferraris , Corvettes und
so weiter.  Racing on real roads, just like the good old days. But no!  
I am pissed!

I wish I had the digital ability or capabilities to show you what a REAL 
road race was like.

Jerry
