I don’t recall ever stopping for a weigh station. We had a rental business and were hauling all sorts of stuff, mainly generator sets, on the Landoll trailer. We had some smaller gooseneck trailers we hauled wit the same truck, too. -D > On Jul 5, 2020, at 7:07 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes >

That was 1973, the race that went over three days. Saw that one from the paddock penthouse. I remember Salt Walther’s car sliding to stop and seeing his legs hanging out of the front of the tub. We also saw the crew member get hit in the pits by the fire truck responding to the Swede Savage

When I was 17 I drove an old converted school bus party wagon full of drunks to the Indy 500. That was the year Swede Savage got killed in a big wreck on the 2nd or 3rd lap right about the S/F line. 1972 I guess. Some of the drunks got hit by fuel and flying debris so we were delayed leaving

No CDL in those days. I worked a coupe concerts with a friend of mine who worked for the local promotion company. Lotta hot sweaty work to listen to bands I didn't care for, but it paid. Got to find the correct wine and pick the red M out of the candy -- and much later found that those

I was thinking 18 (but no way a major freight carrier's insurance will cover you under 21) but I was wondering the same thing. I don't think Michigan would have given me a Chauffeurs license before I was 18 with our without the Class A endorsement. I had one at 20 with no truck/bus endorsements
