Joe - when you go to the Runoffs(tm) this time, please get a motel room...
ref. 1997 Runoffs and sleeping in the car.
:-)
Speaking of Nazis, when I arrived at the Runoffs in '97, it was quite late
in the day... after hanging around 'till quite late with the EP folks, I
was invited to sleep in one of the trailers... at about 1:30 AM, THEY woke
me up and told me that I had to move (no sleeping in trailers). So I got
to set up camp with the tent and everything in the PITCH BLACK. At least
it wasn't raining!
But the alarm clock the next morning (Spec Racer Fords) was very pleasant
to these ears... that sort of erased the memory of the interrupted sleep.
Overall, my experience at Mid-Ohio has been pretty good, including using
my bicycle as transport (which is a major no-no). Everytime the guards
gave me grief about the bike, I just said "I don't see a bike" and rode
away. :-) They didn't seem to find a need to chase me down with handcuffs.
