Narrative:

Once cleared for takeoff, as reached 80 KTS, master caution illuminated and aborted takeoff -- with a slow throttle retard. As went to idle, the autobrakes engaged due to slow throttle and a tailwind. Taxied to gate for tire, brake, and door inspection, which proved to be ok. The door 1L light caused us to abort. Departed 1 hour later -- all uneventful.
