	NHRA 50th Anniversary: Great Races
		Prior to the event, Garlits was quoted as saying, "I came to Ontario to win the world championship, and I knew it would take the sport's best-ever clockings." As it turned out, "Big Daddy" was right.
		In 1975, five-second runs were still a rarity in NHRA competition, but the high-traction surface of Ontario Motor Speedway produced more than two dozen fives during the weekend, including the sport's first all-five-second Top Fuel field.
		There were even eight alternates for the 16-car field that ran in the fives, but all of them were overshadowed by Garlits, who made what is arguably the greatest single run in the history of the sport when he drove his fl Swamp Rat entry to a 5.63, 250.69.

		Selection of the new October date for the California double-header was based on several considerations, not the least of which was to gain more favorable weather prospects with an earlier schedule.

	Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana (a separate town completely surrounded by Indianapolis) in the United States, is the second-oldest surviving automobile racing track in the world (after the Milwaukee Mile), having existed since 1909, and the original "Speedway," the first racing facility historically to incorporate the word.
		Ironically, a wave of F1 drivers went to the Speedway in the 1960s, and the rear-engine revolution that was started in F1 by the Cooper team changed the face of the 500 as well; since Jim Clark's win in 1965, every winner has driven a rear-engined car.
		Of the three major races held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the US Grand Prix generates the most business to the local economy due to the many overseas tourists and many sponsors and teams that are backed by large expense accounts.

		This story requires a bit of background - some friends and I had been having a discussion on racing in the rain, and how some of us feel that it's much better to be on slicks on a wet track than on rains on a dry track.
		Dale had originally entered a Ducati 900, but the motor for that bike was not ready on time.
		One of the last riders I passed was Reg Pridmore -- as we rounded one of Ontario's flat left-hand sweepers he momentarily lost the rear end and I was able to stay inside and go past.

		Designed by Walter Ted Tyler, it was a 2.5-mile rectangular oval with an enormous infield road course and a pitroad wider than many tracks' straightaways to accomodate NHRA dragsters; there were luxury suites within the mammoth grandstand tower at the start/finish line and two lakes in the infield.
		The lesson of Ontario remains the folly of pushing racing on demographics that don't work for it.
		As splendid a speedway as Ontario was - and being a 2.5-mile rectangle it was more attractive than the 2-mile oval of Fontana or the varied D-oval short tracks and milers that have dotted the landscape in the last 20 years - it died because it was in a market that could not sustain it.

		It was awesome, equivalent to Indy in size and amenities, but it didn't pay its own way.
		I have avoided going past there (other side of the freeway from the Union 76 truck stop east of the Ontario airport) since they tore it down and built condos and malls.
		I call this a high-numbered turn because there were a dozen and a half of them, and I just never knew what number this was.
