We ran out of fuel leading on the 29th lap. Besides us Chase Stockton, Levi,Tracy, Chad Boat, Scotty Weir and I don't know who else ran out. We click the stop watch when the car is shoved off for the feature and we ran out 52 minutes later!
What really set me off was that the TSR guys and us among others begged for a red at 45 minutes during the lengthy yellow for Damion but the USAC brain trust were more concerned with finishing the race than making for a good show. Also with Levi's right rear tire going flat they allowed him to pass the pace car and buzz his tires but it did not get the pressure up. They then put him back in the lead and caused a very dangerous restart with 4 to go.
I am very upset to say the least so I will sleep on this before posting more.
