I was a corner worker at the F1 race at Fair Park in Dallas in 1984.
I was maybe 30 yards from Nigel Mansell while he tried to push his car over the finish line in over 100 degree heat. The mechanics from his team were within a few feet of him, and couldn't help for fear of disqualifying him. Keke Rosberg won the race. Mansell was credited with sixth. I know it gets you in free, but you won't be able to watch much of the race from a corner worker station. Just lots of standing around waiting, and then watching the cars go by during the race. I got lucky and worked a corner near start finish, so I got to see a little more. If you are on the back side of the track, its going to be a long, hot day for you. |
