Great pics, Mark. The thing that got me is how these race cars seemed so out of their element on the grounds of the Hershey Hotel! They drove in on that little asphalt road and then on the grass, taking their places under shady trees or out in an open, grassy field. We loved it!

Can't wait to see pics from Sunday after EVERYTHING was set up and in place.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, it reminded me of the Rennsport Reunion at Daytona only on a smaller scale. Those cars are beautiful, I wonder how much money was sitting that grassy knoll????

Enough that I hope they didn't allow smoking cigs/cigars in that area. Anyone happen to notice the grass. A little brown, could you imagine the horror...........

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures.
So many cars I've just looked at and nodded knowingly as if it were an old friend.

Quick financial note: The rs60 that Moss, etc had raced was just recently bought for $5M. Yikes! Also, just fyi, the 959 was recently imported from Japan by an exec with my company -- it's not from Germany (at least not since it was first assembled!)

Good job. Although I didn't see it, I was told by one of the event officials that this was Dan Gurney's F1 car that won at the French GP at Rouen in '62. I sure wanted to pull back that car cover and take a peek at history...

Here is the picture of the Grand Prix car from Sunday,



I have about 800 hi-res images from sat and sun, if you're interested.
