The birth of Wisconsin Good-Time Gang

1979 was the year myself, my brother Rick and my friend Tom Anderson established our racing fraternity; The Wisconsin Good-Time Gang. I have to give Tom the credit for coming up with the name. This was our first year together and it showed! Our "camping" consisted of 2 Ford station wagons parked on the street back to back. Drinking Old Style under an oak tree standing in the rain, and peeing into an old 10 gallon Army gas can! It does get better in the years to come as I will show as we go down memory lane. Oh, by the way, 1979 was the first year Rick Mears won it driving for Roger Penske.
