It wasn't as tiring as I thought it might be. Of course, I had Just run the Monte Carlo race, and that's probably the toughest of them all.

"This race does last longer, but you have time in the straightaways to relax a bit. You actually can turn your concentration on and off.

"I didn't like what (Jim) Hurtubise did one little bit and I'll be remembering it," said Boyd, still fuming an hour after his mishap. "When they had the drivers' meeting before the second start, they told us we'd be running with a green and yellow flag for five or six laps.

Then they said they'd hold up the white flag to let us know we'd be getting the green on the next time by the starting line. "They also told us to hold down the speed. So what happens?

But the fans were no more in the dark than Hill's pit crew, which spent the whole afternoon trying to sort through pit stops and yellow lights to figure out just who was running where.

But the scoring tower and the public adress system persisted in listing Clark ahead of Hill.

Mecom, after consultation with chief mechanic George Bignotti, had the boardman begin flashing Hill position three and what his crew thought was the number of seconds he was behind Clark.
