Friday Practice 1976 USGP West
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2020 4:50 pm
Hi All,
Since I'm laid off from work and sheltering in place, and since it's too cold in my garage to work on models most days still, I decided to digitize some of my slides. These photos are from Friday practice at the 1976 USGP in Long Beach. 44 years ago! I ditched classes that day, and took my MGB and Mamiya Sekor 35mm camera and 300 mm lens loaded with Ektachrome slide film to Long Beach (I was going to school at Golden West Community College in Huntington Beach and lived in Costa Mesa, California). So here are pix that came out OK enough to digitize. I'm particularly happy to have gotten shots of both Hunt and Lauda. Thanks for looking,
Cheers,
Greg
