http://sptimes.com/2005/09/25/Doors/Mary_and_Jim_to_the_e.shtmlPre-Mary, Jim's buddy Phil Anderson brought him to a house party on Clearwater Beach.
Jim was dazzling with the dictionary game. People would pick obscure words, and Jim would tell the definitions.
Phil turned, and his pal was standing on the couch, peeing on the floor. "Needless to say, we were asked to leave."
That was Jim. He'd charm, then provoke. It was worse when he drank.
He got epically drunk on Chianti at the all-day car races in Sebring, crawled around in a white fake fur coat like a polar bear covered in dirt and tried to launch himself onto the track. Friends grabbed his ankles.
"He'd get a real pleasure out of shocking people and being a little eccentric and peculiar," Kallivokas says. "And that came to the forefront when he had a couple drinks."
<snore> Who hasn't done that at Sebring?

You've only got to spend 5 minutes on sebringfans.com to realize that, while many of them may be knowledgeable fans, this race is mostly a drinking binge with some noisy cars in the background.
The focus (on that site) on alcohol consumption is really kind of depressing. I'm kind of amazed (and disappointed) that track management doesn't do anything to try and go a bit more upmarket.
If I wanted to hang with drunken louts I'd go to a British premier league game.

Do you know what year Morrison was at the 12 Hours? Is there any other mention of this visit?

Hard to tell exactly what year from the article, but looks like around 1962. That quote is the only mention of the visit I've ever seen.

It was 1962 as will be documented on the trivia pages of the upcoming Sebring program.

Did you see the shot of his 18 yo girl friend in the article? Bad camera angle--just misses some serious camel toe. |
