The link I provided above has notes with the results. One of the notes says the field was determined by random draw.

Nice looking machine Duke. You sure have that thing slammed to the ground for a dirt car.

The car raised up about 6" after he got out of it.:3:

Just a joke. I guess now my butt will get kicked by Duke.:2:

Looks like 1980 was the last Indy 500 for which Hurtubise practiced. How fast did he eventually get that ugly ass Mallard going? Did it ever actually complete four laps of 500 qualifying? I like the look of an Watson roadster like most folks. But that thing of Herk's looked like the beer cooler it became.

Herk was a hero of mine. I liked the Mallard.
