I have done similar when I was a lot younger as far as sleeping at the track in the race car with one front bucket seat, my Son slept in the truck car hauler seat. That was a long time ago, I like motorhomes or motels for sleeping when I'm out of town on the road racing now Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

I'm just too old for that Sh........stuff, not to mention having a medical requirement for electricity all night every night doesn't work too well with a tent....... Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

No other rooms in Wasco that night due to being the March Meet race weekend that weekend so back to the track to sleep. I could move around okay with no problems back then, that I can remember now Not now Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
