		Another outstanding spokesperson for the sport, the articulate Agabashian was noted for his ability to “set up” a race car and was in great demand each May for the purpose of “test-hopping” cars for other teams.

		Driver Agabashian, aware the team possessed something special, was accused of sandbagging in practice; Agabashian never tipped off the opposition by putting together a full lap at speed.
		But Agabashian had to “dirt track” the heavy (2400-pound vs. 1800/1900-pound) car around the place, throwing the tread from a couple of tires in the process.
		On race day, however, Agabashian was forced out by overheating after 71 laps, the culprit being the mysterious turbo supercharger.
