Hey Bubba,
   You wrote <<tens of millions of Euros in the pockets.... >>

   IIRC, in Bernie's case it was *Billions* of USDs/Euro's or whatever.  I 
recall him being one of the 10 wealthiest in UK - or maybe the world..

   Also, on a lighter note, my favorite commentator  Sam Posey read a 
prepared announcement this morning during qualifying and spoke at lenght 
about the wealth of history at The British GP.  His voice is showing his 
age - but that is probably true of most of us.  Anyway, it was nice hearing 
his unusual style when talking about a track.

   I'm hoping things will get better but I'm not holding my breath.

   Couldn't agree more with your comments about the new tracks that leave 
me cold inside when watching.  They just seem to be missing something the 
old have in spades.  Even if the old ones  get chicanes and such they still 
have that cachet of  soul and tradition the new ones have little chance of 
attaining.

   For those watching Speeds coverage of qualifying for the Brit GP can 
hear a lot of comments about the recent decision to break away from the 
Bernie/Mosley regime.
