I saw the 7-11 team at the Chicago Cycling Classic in 1980, but I don't believe that Heiden was with the team. I recall seeing the Stetina brothers. I think John Howard skipped the race, but I believe Sean Kelly was there.
I saw the crit around the Art Institute. It was won by a certain Greg Lemond.
