Remember that well. Thought Boom Boom was going to get into the pedestrian bridge that crossed over the track at that time. I recall reading that the Hoffman team took the pieces back to the shop, had a memorial service and wake complete with large quantities of adult beverages, then went to work putting it back together and had it ready for the next race (I'm thinking Tri-County Speedway in WestChester). Could have any or all details wrong. Again, Rob or Dick could clarify.
