The arrest question remains unresolved
The source does not identify who was arrested the night before the Pontiac Silverdome races. Targeted research did not locate a sufficiently reliable answer.
The archive preserves the question and marks it as a known exception rather than guessing.
“Close to a million” retains its qualifier
The article says GT was reported to have sold “close to a million” Pro bars and immediately adds “Slight exaggeration, maybe.”
The archive keeps both parts together.
Page 43 is complete
The supplied source includes a complete page 43, allowing the Darrell Young, Greg Grubbs, E.T., GT Pro bar, Lee Medlin, pit-bike, and Bell Moto III passages to be preserved without reconstruction.
