    What photos and memories can you dig up re the crowd and scene at The Grand Prix bar, on Beverly, approx 1953? Lucky Baldwin, Richie Ginther, Phil Hill, others. The ‘older’ lads, to me. I was nearby neighbor of Phil’s (some small stories), and hero-worshipped, had some cars, etc. But went off to college instead of racing, car career, etc.
