I was at that race as a 13-year old kid, my step Dad #30 Mickey Flora qualified 16th and the motor blew early in the race (11:40 mark). Three NASCAR Hall of Famers in that race in Kulwicki, Martin, and Wallace. ASA was a tough series for us to compete in.
ASA was awesome, the greatest pavement racing series ever imo. Too bad what happened with Viacom. Pavement late model racing hasn't recovered from it, especially since the all pro series declined and then Hooter Pro Cup in the south.

This is an amazing upload. Every time I hear that American Sports Cavalcade intro music I can smell my mom's Sunday dinner on the stove
🥰 me too. meee tooo. Beef roast
Well, my prediction was correct that ASC broadcasted this race. Love to see more old ASA races, especially from the 80's.
The starter kneeling in the middle of the track is wild
No Hoosier tires? Only under $100 Goodyears? I can just imagine how some of those tires were doctored lol
