Saturday, July 14, 1973, Langley Speedway

I've added the story to the race down below. Sounds like it could make a great scene in a movie about short track racing.

Lap 8 Al Mullet shunted Jim McMillan in turn two. McMillan retaliated in turn 4. Larry Olson threw the black flag for both to leave the track. Mullet parked his car at the flag stand and got out to argue with Olson. Mullet then went to the pits to argue with the officials. He came back out behind McMillan (who had not left the track). Olson stopped the race to get both off the track. Both McMillan and Mullet got out to say there was no problem (McMillan had his arm around Mullet like they were buddies). Both eventually went off the track.
