...icons. Some 300,000 spectators show up, many of them having traveled long distances for the chance to wheel their cars and campers into the infield, break out the barbecues and beer coolers, and join a kind of high-octane happening. Others pay up to $40 a ticket knowing that they will watch more of an attrition process than a race, that most drivers will never finish the 200 laps, that crackups are virtually certain to occur.

Later he ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, on the Freak Power ticket, whose platform included a decidedly unviable stand on the question of mescaline use. He almost won. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas followed this: it is a brilliant documentary novel about Hunter's and his attorney's monumentally stoned sojourn on the Strip with an expense account, in search...
