In Response To: Racers . . . Heroes . . . ()

Jeff, very nice page! I was wandering around the paddock as a boy at the 1967 USGP in Watkins Glen when i first noticed those fascinating chronographs people were wearing. I still have my beat up TAG/Heur Formula One from 1986 (an homage to those McLaren days) which still runs fine to this day. Siffert and Rindt and all those heroes were cool even before Michael Delaney came along ;-) I went on to meet Cevert, Hulme, Donohue, et al at different tracks in the USA, and that was neat stuff for an impressionable kid -- it stayed with me ever since. (One minor fix is that Tony's name is spelled Adamowicz) Its a cool looking page with a nice feel, i hope you keep working it up!! Thanks for sharing.
