I just read that Audi is going to be at the Petit Lemans. That means that Audi,
Peugeot (wow I spelled that without looking) and Acura will all be racing in
LMP1, for probably the last time in the US.
Sure wish I were going

All work and no play pisses John off. Trying to bounce back from a complete HD
failure at work (power outage, and restart during another surge fried it). Plus
more than I can get done at home. At least I have a job.
Her are some tidbits.
Don't know if they will go through (size) but I am throwing them out there.

Very kool. Interesting biography thumbnail:

Since Hawthorn's last race was the Morroco Grand Prix in 1959, it reminded me
that I was at that GP in 1971...on a Norton 750 (borrowed.) Very few photos
from that event...probably because I was a wee bit "dazed and confused" due to
various chemicals...and I got thrown out of the Hilton hotel there for being a
"feelthy heepee." Not long after than I returned to the states and eventually
tried to adopt a normal lifestyle. Never really worked. I kept hearing this
different drummer, see....and it was probably John Christensen. :)
For those who don't know, John's a drummer and played with a band called
"Jonesin" for quite a while.
Btw, John...hurry up with them Concours photos...I'm still stuck on the salt
flats race cars.
