    Doesn't have to be Fcar related. Just race cars from the period.

    Pics from practice, qualifying and race.

    This was my fav time of F1: 1,200+ PS, pencil rockets and wings the size of snow plows. No electronics, just your right foot to tame the beasts.

    PS: Look at some of those dinky boats in the harbor. Unthinkable by today's standards. :)

    Wonderful, absolutely wonderful photos. Looks like Arnoux walking and waving, and Patrese hitching a ride??

    Every thing sign in those Monaco pics is a Marlboro, we don't see many of those anymore. Was the Countach the safety car for the race?

    Just gorgeous A. Wow!!. Beau Rivage, Massenet, Casino Square, the Chicane, the harbourfront ..., your photos capture the essence of the race. For me, every race at Monaco is legend, even though passing isn't one of its strengths.

    Little bit of rain at the start just to make life interesting and give the Cossies a last chance for equal footing while they were being smoked out of existence. As a brief recap, the Williams Cos of Keke #1 and Chocolate Feet #2, pulled away from the turbos of Piquet #5, Prost #15 and Tambay #27, until Laffite had mech. difficulties, forcing him to dnf midway through the race. That's how they finished.

    The photos of Niki and Watson are good to have as neither Mclaren qualified in the 20 car field (possibly the last time this happened?), joining the Theodores, Osellas, Ram-March of Salazar (#17) and Giacomelli in the Toleman, although Warwick had a decent race in his #35 until tangling with the #29 Arrows of Surer.

    Great shots of Alboreto looking slightly lost after his Tyrrell shunted with Mansell's #12 Lotus at the Chicane (already on a jack) on the opening lap, but his teammate did quite well, qualifying 20th in the race but scoring his first points in F1, well prior to eventually winning Indy.......

    I was there when Senna and Prost were teammates, I think 1990 or 1991, but as a spectator, not in any professional capacity. Sat in the top row overlooking the pool seats gratis a friend at Ferrari, and could turn around and see the front straight. I just have to find my photos.

    Probably not as good as Andreas', by then I was tired of carrying aroung camera equipment. I do remember having a Coor's at Le Texan.

    Oh yea, and was with the first wife.........................................;[

    Excellent shots thank you for posting. They are unlike the usal Monaco shots which somehow always use the same angles.

    There is an element of sadness in these though:

    RIP Michele, Elio, Manfred.....

    Yes they did use early Countach S at least a couple of years but releiablity issues and the fact that there was no room inside is what brought on, later, those Uber sedans they use now.

    Time to bring this good thread to the top again. Here a few pictures I took at Riverside in October 1981. Those are Can Am cars, but obviously Can Am was no longer. So some expert on here can probably comment on what we're looking at.

    The last pic is from Las Vegas: At take off I snatched this shot of the parking lot at Cesar's palace. Folks like Ron and Isobel know of course what that was. To this day I feel like a complete fool to have timed my trip so bad, that I had to leave before the event. Arrrghh!

    PS: I was staying with some friends who not only took me to Riverside (for which I'm eternally grateful), but also to a nearby racing shop where they introduced me to this guy. Never heard of him, but I was smart enough to get his autograph. It read: Dan Gurney. :)

    According to an inflation calculator, that'd be about $41K today. :) That's a nice little chunk of change!

    The best on-going thread on Ferrari Chat. What a great "coffee-table" book this would make...

    Jack, if this happens, I will give you credit in the opening pages! I received many PM's about this. I am feeling a bit better so now I am actually working on the project.

    But I think it should include photos from some of the other people that have posted here.

    Ron,

    I'd be delighted and honored to have some of my shots in your coffee table book. I assume you'd give the participants foto credits.

    This thread has btw inspired me to make my own mini coffee table book: Ritz foto creates bound books and I'll have them make one for each year I went to a GP. Edition of one, just for my own library. :)

    Point is, you really showed us how much we all appreciate souvenirs of times gone by.

    Actually you read my mind. It would be not only wonderful, but necessary to have your terrific photos and those of the others in this thread in a book. I am of the belief that quality is not as important as originality and the memory created.

    We have to talk about this.

    Linda Richman was a Mike Meyers character on Saturday Night Life who did "Coffee talk" and always asked such insane questions. A cultural thing. ;)
