I also remember that jerry blundy, the local track champion, was there and didn't do a thing and also remember the high-pitched scream of the evenrude outboard which someone who was having his offy freshened made. Sounded like a bumble bee coming down the straights. For some reason, this race does not appear in the usac 50th anniversary book. I understand from other postings on this board that there are a few others which may have been missed also.
Hard to believe that was 50 years ago.
