Pinta Hotel.,Roar Nats, 1990 something. Room facing the track 6 floors up.
Almost missed my first qual. SLOOOOOOOOOW Elevator. Tent setup outside for food. Chefs in full gear. Big white hats,servers in tux's $12.00 for a Burger.
Monsoon rain storm. I remember Joel Johnson running through the front door of the hotel and sliding across the floor still holding his radios he saved out of impound.
Used the phone to call home once. The next month got the bill it was $5,000.00 the next month after that it was $7,000.00 all long distance charges from places I couldn't even find on the World Map. I don't have a passport.Took two months to get that fixed. Found out the Hotel Operator and Asst. Manager were selling pin numbers to the Airplane stewardess.
Again keep hounding the hotel and get it fixed.
