Jack Hewitt from 16th to 4th...not too shabby at all!!! If I remember correctly (help me out Marv) the next day on Sunday there was a 60 lap USAC Silver Crown race that was won by Danny Smith in the Gambler House Dirt Car.
Thanks for the info. The track was in ok shape for a day race that day in my opinion.
