Not sure what You meant by Fox "nearly" Tboned Gache, That Was our first race and We darn near froze to death!!! 50's We would have like the 50's for sure,I dont think it every got that warm that day?
Gaches car was hit so hard it sounded like a bomb going off!! Broke the tub nearly in two and didnt to to well for Gaches left leg and ribs?
Fox was screened off the Gache car siting after spinning outand hitting the first turn wall. He was just sitting there like a dead duck, Foyt was jsut ahead of Fox doing the screening and He turned at the last minute to miss Gache, Fox didnt have enough time to change course and hit him pretty good. We got lucky and got in Fox's garge after the race and his car didnt fare to well either.

It was the first time I got the 500 on tape. They talked about how cold it was that day with temps in the 50's. All the wrecks.:eek: Stan Fox nearly t-boning Phillipe Gasche(sp?) yet both were uninjured. Numerous head on crashes by Mario and Jeff Andretti, Fittipaldi. At one time half the race was run under yellow. Michael Andretti wheeling a new Ford powered Lola for Newman/Haas just dominated all day only to break with 11 to go. Unser Jr. and Scott Goodyear who started dead last, battling the last 10 or so laps then provided the closest finish ever.
I haven't watched the tape in a long time but still remember it very well.
