Tom Carnegie and Brian Hammons were on hand for the greatest spectacle in big wheel racing on May 13, 1983.
INDIANAPOLIS — Tom Carnegie was a familiar voice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway calling races for more than six decades.Held annually at the ECLC Learning Center on Sherman Drive, the big wheel race was preceded with the pageantry one would expect to see before the Indianapolis 500.
Children paraded around the track with tambourines, drums and maracas as the drivers awaited the green flag. Calling the race alongside Carnegie was WRTV sports reporter Brian Hammons. The duo noted a near-perfect forecast for the race with overcast skies and temperatures in the 70s. No small detail was overlooked as Carnegie noted, even the wheels of the big wheel machines were magnafluxed to ensure there were no equipment failures.
In all, there were four heats and the winners of each were treated to a ride around the track in the official pace car of 1983, a Buick Riviera Convertible.

Camille Heckmann: The flood — of water and information — is upon us. Finding footing is daunting.The wet Utah of 1983 is once again haunting longtime natives of this snow-packed state. Record snowfall is causing torrential speculation regarding history repeating itself once the weather consistently warms up. Will State Street in downtown Salt Lake City become a river again, or will it be far worse? In April 1983, the city sandbagged 900 East from a conduit break to 1700 South, forcing water into a storm drain that later emptied into the “13th South River.” While the depth of the water in the sandbagged channel increased to more than 5 feet in some spots, the flowing water did not indicate that the runoff would ease anytime soon. State Street near Eagle Gate was a river with boardwalks and bridges interlaced over running water. Months of damage control and cleanup followed the soggiest spring in Utah’s modern history.
