I was thinking of that one, too. Someone else here should remember it, because I was standing inside the backstretch when SuperDuke went by me 10-15 feet in the air spinning side over side. It was one of the meanest-looking tumbles I'd ever seen at that time.
I recall both Jones & Carter slapping the wall with their right rears almost every lap. Every time they came out of four, you heard SLAP SLAP in quick succession.
One other entertaining item of that day. It had rained the previous night and there were puddles in the pits. Carter came in after hot laps way too fast, ran through a puddle, and splashed everyone in someone else's (Jones?) pit. The next time Carter came in, one of those guys tossed a bucket of dirty water right in his face. :-)
