Steve, that is the best clip I have seen on AVUS.? The photos of those streamliners from the?1930s are?astounding.??I remember Chris Economaki telling the story of how as a WWII vet., or possibly a GI from the post-war European occupation force, he visited AVUS and climbed with great effort up the north turn banking.?
