And Unser Jr.'s contract with Galles was only good through the end of '93. You think Penske would've gone to four cars back then? I'm pretty sure of it.


RIP CART

The 1995 race at Road America. It was to be a very short day for Michael and Al Jr.

Another Road America race, quite a forgotten one, but very dramatic. 1989:

1994 CART at Nazareth. The last ride of Mario at his home track and the last 1-2-3 for Penske in their dominate season.

Racing at Cleveland in 1996. This would be the last win for Hall-VDS Racing, as that team closed up shop at the end of the season.

Hall Racing the team carried on in 1997-1998 as Davis Racing with very poor results, especially in 1998 with poor old Arnd Meier.

Rewatching now 2001 Indy, I only remembered the Gidley crash, and loss memories of the rest, particularly the disapointment of a track getting dry after the wet expectation. Didn't remember the river or any other thing about it.

That was Bobby Unser's last Indycar race BTW. One of the greatest ever.

I thought he retired after the 1981 Indy 500? Or was Phoenix after that race.

Post subject:  Re: The Classic IndyCar/CART thread

That was the season finale. Remember the kerfuffle after that years Indy 500 - Bobby didn't get the win until just a few weeks before the Phoenix race. It didn't sound like from the broadcast that he had not announced his retirement by then. If he hadn't won the '81 500 I think he would have continued for another year. He was still very much one of the best drivers in the field.

so who really won Indy 500 that year?

Bobby Unser.

Fancam from '85 Indy qualifications. Quite weird to see the sleek, cutting-edge Indycars of the day crammed into the aging, cramped horse stable garages of the original Gasoline Alley.

Economaki, Squier, Rutherford, Hobbs, Joy. Don't get a better TV line-up than that.


Good race this one. Funny comments about that darned technology limiting driver input at 41:00... :lol:

Not really "classic" but why not. IndyCar just uploaded this with the announcement of the 2016 race.
