Carlos Reutemann was a great driver. He raced the 1976 Long Beach Grand Prix. That was the first year of F1 at Long Beach. I had a photo pass and was shooting for a guy who did racing calendars. Too much work. I really couldn't enjoy the race. Reutemann was seriously injured in a crash during the 1977 Long Beach GP which Mario Andretti won. As I remember, he overshot the Queen's Hairpin right in front of us.
