Well, you're close on the year, but that's about it. :)

Well I should be shot for getting this one wrong since I was there and I remember a whole lot about the race. It was 1987 and it was in July, I think, Old age is setting in.  The winner I'm really not sure I can recall corrrectly. 


 Maybe Jimmy Ward, or Jack Crosby. Go ahead and shoot me...........


 I remember there was some controversy. I know we had a top 5 finish and had a shot at a better finish, but scoring was confusing due to the fact it was the first race we ran with counting the cautions and the drivers were used to going back to the last green flag lap.


 I recall alot of us thought we would have to pit for gas, silly us, we barely used 10 gallons.


 They also told us that tire changes would be done with a 4-way wrench only, no generators or Air tools.

No surprise, Flash is close.

Jimmy Ward won the first Thompson 100 lapper in Sept of 87.
He led all 100 laps.
