We know who was here... not where they were.

Another video for the brave.

DNQs from the B Main I could find. There was also a C Main, but couldn't
find video of it. The B Main had about 26-ish cars.

Steve Johnson #4 Pacific Industries Chevy
Ed Gibber #2 G&K Construction Pontiac
Chuck Pittenger #50 Arcadia Auto Supply Chevy
Danny Crafton #45 Danny's Automotive Ford
Cathy Howard #13 (no idea about the rest)
Eric Seely #62 Seely Racing Chevy
Keith Van Houten #35 Pontiac Motorsports Pontiac
Mike Hood #72 All Commercial Vehicles Service Chevy
Scott Lee #126 (nothing else)
Bob Lyon #44 Jackson Fabrication Chevy
Randy Moore #34 (all I got)
Ken Sapper #185 Valley Heads Service Chevy
Roy Testa #7 Welcomes Auto Body Pontiac
Rod Johnson #115 (nothing, car was bare though)

B-Main was an absolute wreckfest. #2 was in at least four crashes. Hood
led most of it before Van Houten took him out.

Found the C-Main but there's nothing much to say. DNQs...

#94 Rich DeLong DeLong Racing Pontiac
#8 Bobby Goodwin, Jr. Goodwin Racing Chevy
#97 Larry Gray Precision Auto Body Chevy
#14 Mike Lambert Auto Tech Chevy
#31 Greg Brown Atlas Engineering Chevy
#49 Wally Pettengill Chevy
#03 Mike Hickingbottom HRE Racing Chevy
#3 Harry Brady Jackson Race Cars Chevy
#04 Al Sadler Sadler Racing Pontiac
#71 Richard Loch Loch Racing Chevy

#62 Seely and #115 Johnson transferred. I assume #25 Press got the
promoter's option.
