As long as I live, I will never forget the day that Tom Sneva turned the first 200 mph laps in qualifying, in 1977. Our mother grabbed a portable radio and took my two brothers and I to Deming Park for an afternoon of qualifications and sunshine. Because of the practice speeds, up to that point, you just knew it was going to be a historic day. And thanks to Tom Sneva and the God-like voice of Tom Carnegie, that day will be forever etched in my mind.
