I was at all these races too - four years older than you - and remember them very well. Rodriguez - awesome round Paddock in the wet.
We (our crowd) always stood at Club when the GP was at Silverstone and I clearly remember in '75 that pile of cars on the outside of the corner as they just kept coming...aquaplaning into each other....one after the other. Some very lucky drivers that day.
