Only more class left, B/SA. Jimmy DeFrank vs Jim Boudreau, should be a great race, they just called them to the lanes.

Some interesting choices for the barn tomorrow! Scheitlin and Hagberg, who were both 1st round runner-ups! That is all that I have heard about so far.

Is Hagberg's car a Wedge or Hemi.

In that era.......

Class Winners were the only cars that ran eliminations....

ALL class winners were torn down....No exceptions...

If the Class winner was DQ'ed
the Class R/Up was torn down and if he or she was DQ'ed
No car from that class made it into eliminations....

Was that a better situation....? I don't know but it sure made winning your class a very sought after goal.....

National events were few and far between.....
