Daylight in the Swamp!

"It's breakfast time! Hot coffee! Rise and Shine!" During the 1970s & 80s, the guy who owned the concession stand in the B.I.R. race paddock would tramp through the worker's camping area shouting that phrase at the top of his lungs... at about 5:30am. He was the target of many threats from hung-over workers who had shared too much free Budweiser (or Miller or Schlitz) the night before. But dutifully they would get up and stand on corners, or man the watches in T&S, or patrol the grid and pit areas. We have a smaller crew of race workers these days, but their assistance is no less appreciated.

Our latest count shows 22 cars here, but there are rumors that another couple of cars may register late.

Pictured here is the School of Mayhem. Sister Myron wields a wicked dipstick whip. They might be considered "drag" racers.
