I was at the 1970 Mojave 1000. I was 14 years old. My dad didn't want to pay to get in. Instead, my dad, brother, myself and a sheriff parked out in the desert near one of the pylons. We got to see WW2 aircraft at high speed low to the ground for several hours that day. I wish that I owned a camera at the time. One of my better family outings as a kid.
