FIVE DAYS
FROM HOME
i Impressions of TWS
By KARL JACKSON
Race day dawns in College Sta
tion.
It seems like the race is here in
the parking lot of Texas World
Speedway. From the hundreds of
motorhomes lined up like Cones
toga wagons at the entrance, there
are thousands of small, loud and fast
cars that are sprinting for the re
strooms and parking places. Behind
their steering wheels lurk would-be
Johncocks, Rutherfords and Foyts.
Slowly the race crews come to
life. Sleepy mechanics carefully re
move the race cars from their
trailer-cocoons. Everywhere, on
every flat surface, advertising is dis
played in bright eye-catching colors
/designed to be visible at 200 mph.
Made of fiberglass, stainless steel
nd aluminum, all highly polished
,and prepared, the cars are just rock-
lets with wheels. And they have just
jenough space for a driver to squeeze
into.
And the noise. At full tilt, a
Championship car is louder than a
Concord. Crew members uncon
sciously wince, cock their heads and
stick their fingers in their ears for
protection.
The frantic early morning practice
closed, the qualifications soon be
gan. In all, nine drivers have ex
ceeded 200 mph in practice and the
fastest combinations of car and
driver are lead by AJ. Foyt, Tom
Sneva, new-commer Danny Ongais
and Johnny Rutherford.
One-lap qualification runs held
few surprises and only served to
re-establish what everybody knew.
Foyt, Sneva and all the others qual
ified with no trouble but Ongais had
what crew members call ‘‘bad racing
luck.”
All alone on the track for an ex
pected 200 mph run, his car sput
tered once and suddenly went si
lent. Ongais’ sleek black car slowly
coasts down the front strait with a
broken motor, without ever getting
up to speed.
The track announcer is hawking
sponsors as the crews and drivers
returned to the garage and began
final preparations for the race. Small
knots of fans draw up around the re
spective camps. Some even badger
the drivers for autographs or pic
tures.
Foyt, an old hand at prerace pres
sure, is at ease. He signs autog
raphs, pumps hands and jokes with
the braver fans. He leaves for his
motorhome on a kid’s bicycle.
Indy winner Al Unser looks tired
and talks with his crew chief about
the car. Beads of sweat run down his
face and gather at the collar of his
wing
