Fords at the summit report

They set us up on the spectator and car show side of the track just downtrack from "manufacturers row". We were there all day Friday and all day Saturday.

SPECTATORS don't buy "hard core" race parts; RACERS do.
We sold only a couple fuel jugs in two full days. No cranks or rods or carburetors or race mufflers or anything else. We left for home on Saturday night at 9:30 pm definately not to return on Sunday.
There were probably only a couple 100 spectators in all.
The hard core race parts vendors SHOULD be set-up on the RACER'S side of the track.

Vendors who sell posters and model cars, race memorabilia and junk parts were busy ... any vendor with hard core race parts to sell had two days of wasting their time. (Three days if they stayed).
Racers can't really leave their cars for more than 20 minutes or so and it was a 1/2 mile to the vendors from the other, (racer's), side of the track,
