That's funny...the picture was taken on a flight from DC!
 Look closely and you can see Navy Pier and the taller downtown buildings shielding the light behind them making that portion of LSD darker. |

To expand on "infamous" A quick search found this tidbit.
In the early 1980s, for example, the IMSA sportscar championship in the United States fell victim to a series of drug scandals, involving leading drivers. These included the 1982 and 1984 IMSA Champions John Paul Jr and Randy Lanier and the Whittington Brothers. Paul went to in jail for several years for racketeering, while his father John Paul Sr was given a 25-year sentence after pleading guilty to importing marijuana, tax evasion, possession of a false passport and shooting a federal witness. He was on the run for several years and was eventually arrested in Geneva, Switzerland, by FBI officers. Lanier was another man to try to make a run from justice. He was convicted of importing and distributing marijuana and was due to be sentenced when he disappeared. He was arrested eight months later in Puerto Rico. He eventually went to jail for life for his involvement in a huge cocaine smuggling ring. |

The Whttington's, Bill and Don also spent some time in the big house. They're out now and have been for a few years. There was also Dale, the youngest. I use to know a guy that was on thier crew. He could tell some stories about the good 'ol days. South Florida in the late '70's, early '80's was a rockin' place. "Say hello to my little friend...."

This is the 1979 LeMans winner. I've read a story that they actually bought the car on the grid before the race from Kermer. And paid cash.
