1980... The open bathroom year

Camping got alot better this year. The G.T.G. (Good-Time Gang) found a nice lady (Teresa Coffett on west 16th St. that let us park the Ford wagons in her yard. When she told us that we could use her basement bathroom (and that her back door would be open would be open all night) we couldn't park the Fords fast enough! When there are 350,000 people at a sporting event, camping and drinking beer, bathroom facilities become a priority. There was even a shower in her basement!!! Now your talkin!!! This year we sat in Grandstand C, Row K coming off turn 4. The race was won by Johnny Rutherford in the Pennzoil Chapperal. All it says in the scrapbook is; "stayed in stands after race were Tom & I met a couple from Milwaukee and got drunk with 'em"....
