A bunch of us (around 30 or so) would go up there after college in the early 80’s and watch the race from the infield. Man, what a major party it was. We would get there on sat and stay up all night and be at the gate for the infield at first light.one year we accidentally left someone up there as a huge storm came in right at the end of the race when everyone was headed back to the cars. Didn’t figure it out until we were all the way back in St. Louis.
