From Jim Morrison
1. Slept in the car in the parking lot at New Bremen Speedway after watching Bruce Walkup win at Eldora on Saturday night, and then watched Benny Rapp give instructions for setting up his car to his mechanic. Benny would look at the car and then motion up or down and the adjustement would be made.
2. Taken pictures of Tony Stewart in a TQ midget in victory lane at Rushville, Ind., when he was just 18 years.
3. Sat in the cockpit of Tony Stewart's first TQ a year later as the scheduled driver for a practice session, but was too fat at 300 pounds for the steering wheel to turn. I could have waved to the crowd with both hands, if we had fired it up but there would have been a problem in the first turn.
4. Walked the battlefield of Gettysburg in the middle of January while on the way to indoor TQ races in Atlantic City.
5 Walked in the back gate at Indianapolis Raceway Park with Kenny Schrader, who was in a driver's uniform. Schrader asked if I knew if there were any cars that needed a driver.
6 Watched as Billy Puterbaugh Jr., did a 360 around me in the infield at Rushville. Billy got forced off the track and kept his foot in the throttle and the tail end out. I took no pictures for fear the flash would cause him to twitch and lose control, but I turned 360 degrees with him in case I needed to run.
7. Lost 100 pounds after being unable to sit in Stewart's car. Drove Lynn Ambrose's TQ during a practice session and had my photo taken "on the hammer" by the great Jack Gladback. Since I was wearing Lynn's uniform, Jack couldn't tell the difference between us and I never got any photos.
8. Drove Steve Stapp's sprinter at a special media day in 1993 at Bloomington Speedway and had people ask me where I raced at.
9. Interviewed Pancho Carter as a young reporter in 1979 after he won his second Hulman Classic. Was told to have a tape recorder the next time. Interviewed Pancho at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1992 as he walked from the pits to a sponsor commitment. Had a tape recorder.
10. Fell down the track at KC Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio, as cars were being fired for practice at the other end of the track.
