Re: When and Where Did You See Your 1st Sprint Car Race
My first actual race was 1957 at the 5/8 mile dirt oval in Richmond, Va for the USAC stock cars.
I was all of 3 years old. And I actually remember being at it.

A very nice article.
It was easy to visualize the A Main action up front, especially the last 10 laps.

Re: So What Ended Clauson's Day At Indy?
They call it the 105% rule.
The leaders were running 218-ish at the time, so all cars had to be turning at least about 207.6 a lap or faster in order to be allowed to continue running.
