Good one, Lonnie! For those of you interested, there are some great shots of the original Spa in the movie Grand Prix.

The old Spa was famous (infamous?) for having sudden cloudbursts on one part of the track while the rest was dry. That happened during the filming. Director John Frankenheimer needed a link to tie the dry & wet scenes. He held a stopwatch in his hand, had the cameraman come in tight on it, and dripped water in the watch with his other hand. Then he dubbed in some thunder in the soundtrack.
