I was at the first one, too (was at the first dirt open wheel race there, as well). A friend and neighbor was racing a DLM at that time. The dirt track was considerably longer than it is now and the dirt contained a lot of gravel. IIRC there were some people in the stands who got hit kinda' nastily with rocks. The lower rows of the bleachers were empty and you could hear the gravel hitting the aluminum bleachers.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
