Jays first wingless race. Finished 6th I believe. After race Pancho Carter & myself proceeded to pound some beer down at the Berkshire Sheraton bar. He had the hardest double diamonds on for that race. I bet ya they could of went 500 laps as hard a compound they were.
Rich Vogler was screaming around the cushion in the Elder Olds 55. Flat out Edge style driving..
Pitzer ran a Trevis monoqoque chassis that night. Still wearing the old leather face mask with open face helmet. Cap't Crunch was 1 tough son a gun. Tub car..
