Indiana Open Wheel - View Single Post - USAC Sprints--Terre Haute

I first went to Terre Haute in '65, and have many fond memories of the place. That includes a ride with Jack Hewitt in his 2-seater. But one memory that always pops up doesn't actually involve one of the heroes racing, per se. At one event, when the cars stopped on the main straight for a red, Toby loosened his belts, removed his gloves and helmet, and promptly took a nap! One of his crew guys woke him up when USAC called for the drivers to get ready for the restart.
