We had a racer, Dave Hughes I believe, change the BB Chevy from his Modified Production 'Vette in the back parking lot of our hotel. It was 1980 or '81 as I recall. We also had Crawford Benham's 10,000 plus RPM Camaro parked on its open trailer overnight in the same parking lot. Race cars were everywhere. Another year we had a '69 Camaro Super Stocker parked in the lot that was being driven by Jeff Taylor ... I think. It was also on and open trailer. Shirley Cha Cha used to stay down the road at the hotel at the "500" track.
I could go on for a while ... it was an entirely different feeling back then... welcome race fan banners were at all the bars and gas stations etc ... lots of signage unlike today
