    Scottie, the original St Pete GP was the former TransAm. I had a new hotel in St Pete, so I gave most of the teams free room and board in exchange for putting our name on their car, having all the drivers appear for autographs on the Wednesday before the race, and having their cars on display in front of the hotel. Our restaurant name was on the cars the qualified 1,2 4, and 5.

    The craziest situation was the Skoal Bandit driven by Jack Baldwin. I called the owner of the car, he said just come and get it for your display! Irv Hoerr, Tom Archer, Chris Knievel, etc, all of them were there on that Wednesday.

    Best part, I got to ride in pace car for the start of the race. My photos are not digital, otherwise would post.
