My dad used to VHS all the races he went to back then, so he could
watch to see what happened to various drivers besides #3. I am sure
it probably eventually got taped over by something else, though. I'm
going fishing with the old man this weekend, so I'll ask him.
I haven't seen the one from the truck race yet.
