[Leica] A Few More Old Car Race Photos

[robertbaron1 at gmail.com (Robert Baron)]

I'm still finding and scanning some old Ektachrome slides of racing
from the sixties and seventies.

In 1966 I went to see the track near the beach resort town of
Zandvoort, Holland, which held F1 races from the fifties to the
mid-eighties.  I was not there on an F1 race weekend but I did make a
couple of shots of the track and of the beach:

In July 1970 I was at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for Continental Formula
and TransAm sedan races.  By then I was out of school and working so I
assume it was a vacation trip of some sort; looking at these slides I
have vague memories of an extremely long but not-very-sharp third
party lens, obviously mounted on some sort of slr body but I sure
don't remember what:

In 1972 I was visiting friends in Heidelberg, Germany, and we drove
over to see the Hockenheim Ring.  Again it was not a race weekend but
I took a few snaps of the track:

I do remember having a long supper at a very nice hotel restaurant not
far from the track that had walls lined with photos of then current
and past F1 drivers. I have no idea  what it was called but it was
probably well known, at least then.

And I've been compiling these links at
