those muddy fields are a hoot
I saw so many RWD vehicles slewing and slipping in the muddy grass, it was great entertainment.
Those were the days before the IRL/CART feud, and the place was packed. It was a little less "family-oriented" then too, I don't think they allow signs like "SHOW US YOUR T*TS" anymore.
I remember seeing people at 6:00 on the morning of the race, already drunk and sunburned. The guy laying in a Mazda sedan trunk and trying to close the lid on himself for shade was a great memory.
And all the disposable grills abandoned in the infield, some of them run over while still lit ... at that track the IN highway patrol would chase everyone out as soom as the race as over. I like it better at Mid-Ohio, where they let you linger. Instead of jamming into a stalled line of people trying to leave at the same time, you can kick back in the shade and light a grill - and watch everyone else try to leave. That's a beautiful track anyway, it's like someone put a road course in the middle of a park.
