Carlsbad, April 1982...

I think this may have been an experiment or maybe the promoters had kind of a twisted sense of humor...

Carlsbad Raceway and rain, not a phrase you want to hear - let alone participate in.

It had rained for days prior to this race.

There were about 10 or 12 people who wanted to race, so they shortened the track and raced.

It was a 1 class open displacement race so mini's to 480's were going at it.

I don't think there was a scoring sheet this day, because nobody won. Nobody finished.

My feeling is that the real hero of the day is whoever shot this video. You know that camera was as big as a microwave and probably weighed as much as an 8 year old child.
