Oh, some of the things that people were able to get away with "back in
the day"...

As part of the pre-race entertainment for this race, Saugus ran a
promotion that had a stuntman strap himself to a chair, light 3 sticks
of dynamite underneath, and see how far he could fly across the track.

Predictably, the stuntman was badly burned after blowing himself up and
he was not asked back for the 1987 season.

Roger Avants final Southwest Tour win. Roger is still racing a super
late model at Colorado National Speedway in 2018.

Avants' winnings - $2,680

John Krebs started 1st
Ron Esau started 6th (though he was the polewinner, he drew an invert of 6)

There was 1 lead change as Krebs started P1

The 7/9/86 edition of the Santa Clarita Signal gives the following
rundown for the finishing order - going to assume it's still missing a
couple beyond 20th place. No numbers or cars or lap counts or anything
like that, just names and positions. The top seven are the same as what
is listed already here, but from there it differs:

8. Don Wilson
9. Rick McCray
10. Ron Ward
11. Al Sadler
12. Mike Chase
13. Keith Van Houten
14. Tom Fuller (CA)
15. Marta Leonard
16. Don Monaco
17. Roy Pruett
18. John Krebs
19. Mark Walbridge
20. George Esau
