  • RJ What "type" of photography that you use your camera for is the key to your lens selection. Since I enjoy snapping at Motor races and also take photos of the grandkids, pets, and the flora of our garden/backyard, I look for a lens or lenses that…
  • I'm sorry RJ......just saw this as I only peruse the racing message board..... The Tamron offers a lot more........ 300mm top end compared to only 200mm and has macro as well.......... which one did ya go with ???? again, sorry for seeing this ea…
  • Here are some pics of Clay....... he was a class act...... again, this is so sad In The Nostalgia Forum on Atlas, someone said that they believe that Clay and Vittorio Brambilla are now reminicing over a bottle of Chianti.…
  • I can't believe just how hard this news has hit me.....The first F1 car/driver I ever saw was Gianclaudio Regazzoni in his Ferrari 312 at Mosport in 1972. He was loved by the tifosi, at Monza he was more popular then Ickx and Niki. He also won Wil…
  • Hi Manlo27 Since my memory is failing fast in my dotage..... I looked up the 1980 and 1981 seasons in my collection of Grand Prix International magazines, read the short history of Williams in the 2 volume "The Great Encyclopedia of Formula One 19…
  • Bernie Antietem is the place to go for re-enactors....... they do it in September.......... The most bloody day in American history up to the point in time....More American killed in that one day then all those killed in the Revolution, War of 181…
  • Hi Bernie yes, I am OLD............. and heading toward senility all to quickly....... but I still can remember a few things...... Teddy Roosevelt was more into saving College Footbal than motor racing, Eddie Rickenbacher was pretty quick not only…
  • Originally posted by forzaminardi did you have a hair cut like that as well in those days, Murph? David Crosby's (CSNY) "Almost Cut My Hair" was my theme song !!! Hair was longer ( the James Hunt and Lole look) but I had a serious 'stach...... s…

  • Congratulations to Fred on his 2nd WDC and also to Flavio on Renault's 2006 World Team Championship. May you both stay healthy and successful in the future............ To Michael, thanks for all the great memories.............. ciao
  • I could be so very wrong on this, but....I thought that when Uncle Ron talked about a new "image" for McLaren he ment much more than a new paint job........ out with the cold, sterile "McLaren brand"...... not going completely overboard to a warm an…
  • "OK heres the question can you guys in a few lines let me know what is Minardi? What does Minardi mean to you? please put the replys here or if you prefer my email is ndngm@yahoo.com Thanks Norman " I believe that Silverghost is on to a couple o…

  • Hi Manilo27 I don't really believe that I did an adequate job in my defense for my Ferrari feelings. Today, I went perusing thru my "library" and came upon Ferrari Formula 1. This was a photographic history of Ferrari by the great photojournalist …

  • I have a couple of Piquet from Detroit ('86) but like most of my old stuff, it hasn't been "digitalized" as of yet........ still waiting for my son-in-law to get my main computer up and running so I can start to work on lots of stuff........'sig…

  • P1 I'm guessing...but from me to the fence I'm shooting thru is about 8-10 feet..... from the fence to the corner would be about another (again, a guess) 120+ feet..... at Melbourne are you stuck in the grandstand for all 3 days or is Friday a day…

  • P1 all the teleconverter does is "extend" your lens......for example...... when I use my 400mm/f5.6 lens with my 1.4x teleconverter......my 400mm lens "becomes" a 560mm lens ( 400 x 1.4 = 560 )..... when I use my 300mm/f4 lens with my 2x teleconve…

  • Originally posted by MinardiP1 Murph, i'm sure all of us would LOVE some advice on what type of camera to buy to get such good shots.... is a digital SLR with say 8+ megapixel resolution enough? Are the $2000 SLR Canon jobbies any good? What lenses…

  • RJ.....I don't see "THAT" happening,but you are more than welcome to use the Michael shot... My seats at Indy are right besides the Podium. Below me is the "Bull Pen" that is set up for the podium finishers to do interviews after the Peter Windsor…

  • Niki drove #12 in 1974 (all Red) I always liked the looks of the 1974 312B-3...... Niki won his first 2 GP's at Jarma and Zandvoort and Clay won at the Nurburgring. In 1975 Niki also drove the #12 312-T ( T= transverse gearbox) and it had a wh…
