Nice pic ...but are you sure this was taken at Knoxville Iowa? It might be Knoxville Illinois but it sure doesn't look like Knoxville Iowa in the background and the fence.

Knoxville in 1979 certainly looks a lot different than today, this is just off of turn two with Little Duffer and the car wash in the background....

It was hot laps for sure... in those days I went to the pits to take photos during hot laps and time trials and then went to the stands for the races.
I looked at another shot of Tom a couple weeks later and he did have gloves on then.
