(Personally, I rather like having the car in the shot. It adds the feel of a race and helps to date the photo as well.)

40 years ago, I expect he felt it made the shot too "modern". Now, of course, it dates it. Funny how the passage of time changes things. Personally, I think the shot would be the poorer for removing it.

Great images Russ. Thanks for giving us another look at them.
