Very kool.  Interesting biography thumbnail:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hawthorn

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.
