Bob,

Thanks for showing these. It brings back some fond memories. Brands was my 
local race circuit; I lived about 35 miles from there and I made many visits 
there as a youngster. Wasn?t F1 just a better sport then. I know that driver 
safety was pretty awful then, so I can understand the need for advances in 
driver and spectator safety. But todays product seems just a bit sterile 
compared to those golden days.

Best wishes,
