    I remember watching coverage of the race on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Remember that empty feeling seeing the dense smoke from across the harbor. RIP

    I think I'm correct in saying that as a result of the straw bales catching fire that he crashed into, they were banned from all future grand prix after that race.

    They made improvements in the roll bars too. Before that accident, roll bars were little more than a formality to pass the scrutineering.
