I feel like a rookie. My first Figure 8 experience as a spectator was in 1969. They never announced the winner because it took a while to sort out. The winner was always "unofficial". But on demo nights they would announce the winner.

I remember a couple of cars with the driver's seat in the middle of the car, Luigi in the 74 with the Italian and American flags on the roof.

The old '56 Fords, Crown Victoria. The '57 Chevys. The big finned Plymouths. The fights on and off the track. Bobby Lane stretching the rules. Oh man what memories. It was fun back then.
