All that alcohol that the spectators (and drivers) were drinking during that era had to come from somewhere! Does anyone think there weren’t copious amounts of alcohol being consumed while those drivers were doing some truly crazy driving during those years?
I know my Dad and uncles would slip away for a bit and come back with a Mason jar that they would sip on for the evening. The entire crowd would get crazier and louder as the evening wore on.
I used to drive by it going to college.
