You were there? I was there each year from 1970 to '74. Warm beer and cold hot dogs for breakfast, waking up to the sound of a Matra or Ferrari screaming down the straight. Went to a visit with a friend at the Ferrari paddock and wasn't allowed in. I didn't look right
It was cold on race morning in 1974. A guy a few camp spaces down got in his car that night to warm up with the engine running and woke up dead. Then Helmut Koenig did his dive into the Armco. That was the last year for me.
