Tear down at Gainsville?

I remember Indy when ALL class winners went to Paul Harvey Ford for teardown. If someone didn't pass, they'd bring in the runner-up.
1978 Gainesville (no class run-offs), Top 16 Q's were invited to Blount Pontiac for a piston party ..Yes all had a piston out , one way or the other.They did have a few lifts available. I was lucky enough to be no. 15 ;-)

One should remember, there were less categories then. No .90 cars, fast bracket racers.
We were done for the day at 4 p.m....To the dealership by 5 .
