I was at the old Nurburgring for F1 in 1966; I've posted this before: http://www.bobbaron.com/EuropeanGP1966/index.html Lots of cropping from scans of the old color slides; all I had was an M3 and a 50mm. That was a summer away from law school with a tight budget similar to yours. $5 USD/day was doable then but no longer, for age-related physical as well as inflationary reasons.
