Any pictures of me in there? ;-)
I was there with Williams every year. I remember not starting on time Friday 
in 1982 since the circuit was not finished. I used to love the race in 
Detroit, it had great atmosphere and enthusiasm. And I could walk to work 
from the ren cen.
I will buy a copy to bring back great memories.
cheers,
Frank
