I remember the late night thrashes.

You weren't a "real" racer unless you had a bunch of greasy Holiday Inn towels in your tow rig!

In 1970, we went to Indy to watch and stayed at the Howard Johnsons as you went back to IRP. They were holding the mini bike "Nationals" in the back parking lot. Someone had devised a Christmas Tree for this event and it even showed red lights. Shumacker was working on his Funny Car and someone borrowed some fuel and ran that in their mini bike. That wasn't so bad but they made a pass down the hallway and the place smelled like a starting line. What a fantastic evening.

I remember one year @ the Summer Nats Englishtown not only did we leave the track every night to a motel but they had an area to park our trailers after we pitted our cars. Talk about a mess going to get your trailer to load your car up to leave every day.---Also the big thing for me every year @ Indy were the campgrounds. The Lions Club campground was always alot of fun............................if you stayed out of jail.
