I was at that Chandler race. They had four or five open comp races at the track before USAC got there. If I remember right, the track owner had the banking in three and four pretty steep and one and two fairly low. I spent many Saturday nights in the mid-1970s shooting their stock car stuff. There's a drag strip (airport) behind the back stretch and at one time they had an off road course through the woods.
That was the good ol' days when USAC ran on Sunday afternoons. I've shot the Hoosier Hundred, driven to Chandler for that race (yes it can be done) and gone to the USAC race the next. You could even make it to Haubstadt, if you were somewhere like Terre Haute. One time in 1978, went to Winchester, and followed Sammy Swindell's rig to Haubstadt after he had won at Eldora.
Wonder if this is a lease deal with Chandler?
And, Bob, if Ambrose had a transfusion, wouldn't it be in 'shine? Which would fit with Chandler.
