I do remember that the weight differential right side vs left side was different. I believe that the cars from the East were 65-35 percent while the ones from the West were 70-30. They also had a number of other things to work out inorder to run this show. A very competitive race and they put on quite a show. Unfortunately it was a one and done as they never returned again.
Mike, the year of that race at IRP was , May 13th, 1989. Just came across my ticket stub. I'm sure if I go through my racing programs I could tell ya who all was there. Lloyd
