I lived in Speedway, Indiana (1.3 miles from the track!) from 1973-1977. It was a whole different world back then. Driver's would stay in apartments or in people's houses in/around Speedway. I met Gordon Johncock that way. He stayed in the apartment building next to mine and I remember me and my Dad striking up a conversation with him in the parking lot.
My Dad met Salt Walther and knew Bob Harkey. I met Larry McCoy (stayed in the house next door to my best friend). Not big names, but they were drivers and I as 10 years old so I thought they were gods...
