Too Many On Roof
This one dates back from time trials, around 1975 or so. We used to
drive down from Michigan and park in the infield. There were some
younger fellows, probably high school seniors or so. They had rented a
white van and equipped it with lawn chairs, coolers, cookers, etc. They
even had the foresight to bring a ladder so they could get on top of the
van and watch the goings on. What they didn't think of was how much
weight six or seven of these guys had, especially with the horsing
around that was occurring. We watched as through the course of the
day the van roof slowly became indented. Toward the end of the day,
the roof was collapsed enough that the fellows ( fairly well lubricated
by this time ) were laying on their backs inside the van and pushing up
with their feet trying to restore the roof. All but one, that is. He sat
on the ground and cried. Our assumption was that it was either in his
name or his dad's!
