Bleachers Quote by Kurt Vonnegut

“We were into the Speedway. We'd take a train out to the Speedway where farmers had flatbed trucks with bleachers on them. They'd park in the infield and we'd sit on those. Our heroes weren't the drivers, they were the pit crews. That's because we were local, and we knew what was going on.” quote by Kurt Vonnegut — Download Open image
