Re: ESPN= NO F1 RACES

Brian,
     Out here on the left bank of N.A., ESPN2, according to my tv guide will
have the race broadcast, starting at 7:00PM  PST tonite.
     If you happen to catch some of the pre-race functions, could you please
video tape them and forward me a copy of the tape. One of my friends from down
under, is having his 100S Austin Healey, along with 3 other 100S's used in the
pre-race functions. As this is the 100th anniversary of Donald Healeys birthday,
the Austin Healeys were invited to participate in this event.
     It will be so nice, not to have to get up at 4:00 am, when I usually have
to watch the F1 races live, when their broadcast from europe.
