I wonder what they paid for tow money back then. 100 cars not making the show costs somebody something. Was it the promoter or the racers?
I hope the promoter had knoxville type stands to hold all the fans it takes to adequately pay all those cars.
Of course, i can't understand why that kind of success would keep usac away for 30 years.
