Didn't seem like it fit anywhere else, so starting the thread here. I saw the photo on the ALMS FB page. Sebring 1971 - would have LOVED to see this in person. :thumbup:

I don't remember seeing these races ( I was only 4), but I remember drawing pictures of race cars. And this is what they all looked like -

There are some really great photographers on FB and they do a pretty decent job of sharing their snaps.

Holy crap. If you could put Time Machine tickets to that race on Ebay to watch it in person what do think they'd go for?

Time Machine tickets

Michael C. Brown, for one. I've spent so much time looking at his race shots that I finally had to tell my wife that I was spending all that time on porn, just so I didn't look like such a nerd!:gomer:

Aside from the eye-candy...look at that mob. That's when you could still suspend a whole living room set and blaze it up at the end of the race and still head home with the scaffolding... :laugh:
