Jim would be celebrating his 85th birthday today had it not been for that fateful day on April 7th 1968 at Hockenheim, Germany. He won the Indianapolis 500 the first time I attended in 1965 and in my mind is still the greatest Formula One driver ever.

The Jim Clark Racing Museum in Dunns, Scotland is not too far away from where I live in Northumberland, England. I will post a few photos's from my recent visit.

That winners trophy is cool and interesting, I have never seen them raise anything but the cup. I was born in 1970.
