    Thumbs up

    Nice shot Mark/Coop,

    That's the 1971 T33/3 of Pescarolo/de Adamich that came in 1st. in 3 lt. and 3rd. overall behind the two 917's of Rodriguez/Oliver (1st.) and Siffert/Bell (2nd)

    Looks like de Adamich's helmet in the shot.......
    Andrea de Adamich drove for Carlo Chiti's Auto Delta (Alfa Works) team from the very beginning..... Great driver


    Thanks

    1970 Spa 1,000k

    I scanned this from some negatives Coop lent me. Number 28 car is the Vic Elford & Kurt Ahrens 917 and I haven't figured out who is in the #53 911 (looks like 53 anyway)

    Cool shot but isn't in perfect focus.

    My crystal ball says that the #53 911S was the Erwin Kremer/Karl Von Wendt Auto Kremer entry, which finished 18th overall. Can you imagine hammering around Spa in that 911 and having one of the 917's come blowing past?!? Thanks for sharing this great photo. -- David

    Thanks David ... I hope to scan a few more from this group. Even though most are outtakes, they're pretty amazing.

    I read this on Petrolicious and it made me think of this thread:

    I'll never be able to afford one of these amazing Heuers...but I'm very happy to have the Autavia I do own

The clip below of Rindt alone scratching his eye, bears the caption: For Rindt: what bad luck is in store?
    That photo was shot two weeks before he was killed.

    Below is Coop's description of the first photo:

    "Graham Hill driving for Team Rindt at Formula 2 race in Austria in 1970,
    two weeks before Jochen Rindt died during practice round at Monza for
    1970 Italian GP. (I hadn't planned on covering that race, but when he
    died on Friday, I jumped onto train and made it down for last Saturday
    practice runs and the race on Sunday.)

    Rindt was the pride of Austria, the first native to make his mark in
    Formula One racing. It would be few more years before Nikki Lauda came
    along".

    Unfortunately ...no shot with Heuer

    Coop is gone

    I am very saddened, heartbroken and pretty much devastated to report that I've only just now found out about the passing of my former editor and friend Charles (Coop) Cooper.
    If you've followed this thread, you know what a special human being he was. There's been way too much death in my life lately. ...and I don't imagine that's going to stop

    Mark,

    I'm SO sorry for your personal loss, and moreover the car racing community's loss....

    With sympathy,
    Chuck

    Thank you Chuck. I'm feeling very sad. He was incredibly humble about his accomplishments. I worked with him for years and never knew about his covering motorsports until he found out I was interested in Porsche.
    There's this too from the Examiner:
