Hi all-

Ahhh... I remember it well. My first semester at IU, fall 1978, and they were filming the movie. They let us all be extras (in the stands for the race) and I remember thinking how no one would believe that thousands would come for bike race on campus. Little did I know...

That spring they opened the new stadium and I think it held 19,000, and it was packed, plus tailgaters and parties all nearby. It was the big, end of the year event weekend and it was really a great time, as it was every year I was there.

Of course, I can't help you with any technical issues because I was not paying much attention to the bikes back then, but if you have any questions about Bloomington circa 1978-1986 let me know.
