I was definitely there for this one! They brought in Tommy Hinnershitz to prepare the track and they wound up with a wall of mud going down the middle of the back chute, splitting it into two lanes. Bettenhausen and "Scratch" put on a great show and until I saw this thread, I couldn't remember which one finally won the featch. I also believe this was the day that Herman Wise dumped the bronze colored Zeigler sprinter qualifying....oh, and AJ was walking around in the muddy pits in alligator skin shoes before the show got started.
