"its better to wear out then rust out"
I went to the 1970 USGP at Watkins Glen with my dad. It was a month after Rindt had been killed at Monza, Graham Hill was recovering from a bad crash and was limping heavily. The mood in the pits was subdued, and the weather was cold and rainy, per usual for WG in Oct.
Pedro Rodriguez nearly won in the beautiful Yardley BRM, but ran out of fuel a couple laps from the end and coasted to the pits for a splash of fuel allowing Emerson Fittapaldi to get by and score his first F1 win.
I'll have to see if I can find my pictures of the race.

Old Alfa guy that I was...
Besides his formula and sports car drives, Rindt always had a special place with us being the FIRST TransAm OVERALL winner at Sebring in '66 in a GTA ..... with a car he rolled and 'fixed' the day before.......
To hear Bob Tullius defend his orders from MoPar to only win first in class in the factory V8 Dart, and NOT the overall win was painful to listen to... give me a break.......

I'm pretty sure Coop is spending part of his weekend rummaging through his old files of negatives, slides and photos. I sent him an email saying:
"Hey Coop. We're going to need more Nina photos".
And, I happen to know that he has some AWESOME Jim Clark stuff packed away somewhere. I've been bugging him for several years to find those.
What a great style, quite unique.
Thanks very much for sharing.

Coop found another group that I have not scanned yet. Wait till you see those. They are awesome. Some great Porsche shots too.
But, for now, here are a few more very nice shots:
1. Jack Brabham
2. Sterling Moss
3. Moss again
4. In the pits (Lemans?will update)
5. Monte Carlo, just before casino curve
On the subject of Jochen and Nina, here's one of my latest pieces...

No one will ever know what he would have accomplished had he been around longer. Maybe the best ever?
