1978 BRITISH GRAND PRIX - IT'S LARGE PRIZE WEEK ON the GONP.

My interest in Fomula One Grand Prix auto racing has waned significantly over the years. A recent trip to my local barber here in Fonthill (decided to get my hair cut to order other than a number. Got the number one when I went to India. Shorter than short. Felt better when at the the end of the day we exchanged our ".......  and don't let the bed bugs paralyze"...., back to Tony. He's going this weekend to Austin, Texas to see the first Grand Prix in United States since the unfortunate fiasco in Indianapolis (2007).

I have my scanner fired up so I thought I would dig through the stack of reels in the the basement and see what we can find.
