It was a major hi-side for sure! That was during practice. I later won my heat race and Davey Williams won his. Just a couple of Riverside boys that duked it out every Friday night at Corona Raceway! I thought for sure that was my night, I was on my game, but it was not to be. They watered the hell out of the track right before our Main, which was at halftime during the Superbowl. Magoo went into the first turn way too hot and took out half the field, including me. Some dude named John Smith won the race and slipped into obscurity after that. Oh well!
