Remember that well too. First zig zag sprint I've seen.

But the new track tears up the equipment........................

Thats one wreck I remember vividly from the old fairgrounds track, Although i can't say exactly when. Im sure it was a Mel track at the time.
Bland came off turn four on a wheelie and set it down about five feet before the front straight wall. The car just kinda zig-zaged accordion style. He was bruised up by the belts pretty bad but ok.
