Wow, thanks. Brought back lots of memories.

I and two other buddies had been planning to go to the Hockenheim race, but the lousy weather persuaded us to forget it. I was stunned when I heard Jimmy Clark was killed. He was my (and most everybody else’s) hero.

In 1970 I saw the Formula 1 race at Hockenheim, won by series leader Jochen Rindt.

A few weeks later we headed to Italy, considered the race at Monza, but hurried to visit relatives, instead.

That was where Rindt was killed. He was my racing hero.

Thanks for the link, Chode.
