+I've had a few suggestions with respect to these retro-results threads I post occasionally during the off-season. But, to follow those recommendations would likely be painful if not impossible........so, here goes another one.
+We had some doubts that this James/O'Connor Memorial would be run on this Sunday as the weather didn't look too promising.

+Mickey Shaw was a scratch in his 66.
+Foyt led the first 67 laps before shredding a right rear. He lost three laps in the pits.
+McCluskey also blistered a right rear and slowed noticably in the last 20 laps or so but still beat Wente to the checkers by a lap.
+Time of the race was waaaaay off the record mostly due to a Chuck Arnold crash into the back stretch wall when he lost a wheel.
+McCluskey won $1250 with his win. The total purse was $7000 (against 40% of the gate which was down due to threatening weather).
+A young (22 years old) driver (not competing on this day) by the name of Steve Stapp was announced as the winner of the Jerry's Sportsmanship Award.
+There were only 3 Offys in the field this day, the #7 (Branson), the #4 (Hulse), and the #7 (Arnold). The rest were Chevy powered.
+I heard ZERO complaints about car count.
+We had a great time at the Go-Kart track east of town (next to a radio station) before bedding down at the Salem Motel.
+Nothing else in my notes or memory, so I must be off.
