[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Wayne Torry]

Douglas,
Thank you so much!
The Hailwood photo was also shot with the C220. I had been sitting in the
stands at the Sachs Curve at the Hockenheim Ring. Someone left a gate open
in the wall and I walked through it to get the shot. If Mike had flinched
and gotten off line I would have been hamburger.
Those were the good days!
