All of that "openess" in the pits is gone. A very different scene. Still more access that other forms of racing, nothing like 1980.

The hugs at the end morphed into a helmet toss by Englishtown that year. Great rivalry back in the day.

I was thinking about that and while I am not sure for certain but I think it is interesting in that it is less open these days, yet back then there were more cars.

Bonin took a wild ride and messed up that pretty '80 Trans Am body. That was the first year after the Bubble-Up deal went away. I can't get enough of these races. I've been burning up youtube for months watching these.
