So many things from last week that exemplified the commitment the O'Conners, USAC and the racers had to putting on the show but whoever came up with the idea to keep the Heats 1 & 2 cars circulating on Friday until the showers let up was a sheer genius. I did hear grumblings and calls of "Let's GO!" from some of the crowd around me but the knowledgeable among us just smiled and nodded because we all knew there was no way they were going to lose the track if they could help it.
I was going to say "if they could humanly help it" but the truth is the effort was superhuman.
