film in a long shot at Tertre Rouge corner - He was just behind the cloud
of dust and sand that went up as he shot off the circuit and 'planted' his
TR on top of the sandbank.

Ah yes!
I know that picture well. And Les's car #29 is why we run #29 on Ole
Blue...not to mention neither Les nor I have missed many meals, and we have
similar body structures.
