Never got to see a race there, but I remember the closing day very well. I had intentions of going, but had attended a USAC Silver Crown race at Terre Haute the night before, and just wasn't able to make it to Indy for the finale at 16th Street Speedway. I was able to get to Indy in time for a USAC sprint and midget double header that night at IRP. My mother and I stopped to eat at the MCL on Crawfordsville Road before heading out to Clermont, and I remember many people being in the restaurant who had been at 16th Street Speedway and hearing them discuss the race.
