<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 9827467, member: 18802"]Thank you for all the replies! I just switched the photos to full image, I forgot to do that! Indeed this appears to be the 1961 Belgian Grand Prix. I wasn't sure my photos were of Phil Hill, plus I could not find a good photo of the course in 1961 that showed the clock. Thank you for finding those photos! Also, I just found and watched an Youtube video of the 1961 race and within the video there was a very similar shot, like my photo, of the partial Phil Hill plaque on the brick wall, with the same two cars parked identically (#6 and #4). When I was younger I went through a period of watching the F1 grand prix on TV (1970's). At the time many of the courses were inside the city limits of some very old/historic places. And I much preferred watching the cars navigate a windy course, vs an oval. Which is ironic as I was born in Indianapolis <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Anyway, I lost interest in car racing as I got older, so I feel lucky to have stumbled on these old photos from a early 1960's F1 race! It appears scanners are the best way to convert negatives to prints, as opposed to the smart phone converters like I'm using. But they are rather expensive. Does anyone have a suggestions of what to look for when trying to find a professional photo place to convert some of these negatives for me, for a fee? I'd like to convert and keep a few. They appear to be 70mm negative film strips that were cut into smaller framed pieces. Thank again for the help! PS: Looks like when I made the images full size they precede my text now, can't seem to fix that, sorry![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
