I remember the 1973 race, which lasted 3 days and 330 miles, and encompassed the horrific Swede Savage crash. I think this really rocked the racing world and led to a bunch of improvements. I remembered the incident where a pit crewman was killed by a firetruck racing the wrong way up pit road, but I had forgotten that this was part of the aftermath of that crash.

This was all very big news, and what I'm saying is, that I remember the time and place where I was, and all that.
