Jw, but what was the layout?

[DiggerFan]

The track was a U-turn type track. Immediately following the start was a set of 3 dirt rollers, then another dirt hill approximately halfway down the straight. After making the turn, the trucks would then jump a set of 7 cars, with the finish line after the 7th car.

Also, an additional note, the Grave Digger flip in the finals was the famous "flying leap" crash, in which Dennis saved the truck on the left-side tires, only to bounce the truck on the right-side tires, catapulting it up sideways into the air, crashing down on the nose and then the left side.

Here are some pictures of the crash:

Is this the event that Jimmy Creten speaks of in the "History of the Silverdome" dvd? The one were he is talking about driving plumb nuts and racing meagher in bigfoot and Creten thinks he is just rockin' and then bigfoot is down at the end of the track waving to the crowd as Creten in Plum Nuts is just making his turn.
