I remember not starting on time Friday in 1982 since the circuit was not finished. I used to love the race in Detroit, it had great atmosphere and enthusiasm. And I could walk to work from the ren cen. I will buy a copy to bring back great memories. cheers, Frank --- On Fri, 29/5/09, Roger Hart <rhart76 at gmail.com> wrote: > From: Roger Hart <rhart76 at gmail.com> > Subject: [Leica] Postcards from Detroit > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Friday, 29 May, 2009, 4:17 PM > As a most-time lurker, I know there > are quite a few LUGers who are also car > enthusiasts.
