Dave,
Just for your info in 64/65 some Airmen went to the base Commander and got permission to race at night on a rarely used road out toward the base recreation area. We would block off the road off the road and race all night long, no trophies, no money, just for fun.
The only real caveat the Commander put on us was that there would be NO drinking! One night a bunch of guys (spectators) refused to stop drinking and the organizers told us what was going on and we all packed up and went home.....over 75 cars and we all quit so as not to break the pact that those Airmen had with the Commander.....can you imagine?
Never see that happen today with all the selfish people in society.
It was a fun time.
