"Strip-tease at the Hairpin." Like I said, a French photographer buddy of mine needed to make some extra money to feed his family, so I met Tracy (said girl) in a night German class at a J.C., along with her fine friend called Little Bo Streep, and LBS is the eldest daughter of Beach Boy Mike Love. Anyway, Tracy and Melinda were Go-Go Girls at the Auto Expo in L.A. too, so I asked Tracy (who was/is a fun girl and Trashy Loungerie model at the time -- good choice of word for you) if she wouldn't mind taking her top off just before the start of the LBGP in the middle of the track at the first turn, the Queen's Hairpin. So about two minutes before the warmup lap, I took her out into the middle of the track and removed her top. My bud was ready and sold his shot to Grand Prix International and some other mags, and all the other photographers (about 100 there for the start) sold pics of the incident too. All but me (I was broadcasting the race for KNAC in Long Beach and shooting pics for Road & Track at the

same time). Everyone got excited including 40000 or so fans in the stands there, and people still talk about to this day, long after the race winner is forgotten.

I will reveal the full story in my future article for Road & Track, "Confessions of a Grand Prix Photographer."

Michael is right: our "less book value" carburated round light 02s: mine with a Weber 40/40 and his with a Weber 38/38 will reduce the author's "50%increased fun factor" by a significant degree. Just ask a well respected Verona tii owner in the East Bay Area with a hot tii set-up how my Sahara did on HWY 25 ,with its lowly 38/38 2 years ago!. lol. Now, i have to get back to the dude's rant...I am sure there is more to relply to; then again maybe not... ( BTW: thanks for the plug Michael: i am selling my 38/38 to a Mendocino guy this week- he should have some fun in store!)
