That is according to the report in MotorAction
Yes, that tallies with the notes I must have taken down from the PA system. At lap 157 the Oxton/Pederson P76 was leading the Chargers of Wilkinson/Harrington and Leonard/Sprague by a lap, and then by lap 174, Leonard was leading and the P76 was seventh, 3 laps down. Information system must have been pretty good that year.
