There was the time Halsmer collided with Jim Mullen at Road America and the latter ended up in the trees.

Man, Viking really does hate Indycars if he's the one who put up the '73 500.

It's all good, tomorrow is better anyway. Plenty of lead time on a Saturday night, hopefully we get a full crew.

Show some American Sports Cavalcade and/or Group C sportscars and I'll be there.

If its the race where Prost had to cry to race control about the rain so Senna wouldnt win in his 2nd race, make that poo poo on a sunday night and I am down.


Actually, Senna had a broken suspension when the race was stopped, which meant Stefan Bellof would have won had it continued. :v:

Monaco '96 ruled, too.

Smoke at the 2011 finale has to be one of the best drives ever in most any form of racing.

Yeah even on the broadcast they said it was 2000 like aero which that isn't a good thing to say. It was very hard to pass the leader. Still mad Gordon decided to get hooked by Marlin, he had that race in the bag since no one could pass him and the DEI cars were taken care of... well except Michael.

I have blocked the '00 500 from my memory. THAT race was dreadful.

Put up some "so bad they're entertaining" races (Monaco '96 or anything ARCA.)

And no '05 USGP. I was there and thought there was gonna be an honest-to-God riot.

I also have a bunch of F1 Decade stuff from '94-'95 on tape. I remember the '94 German GP being a pretty :psyduck: race.

1994 and 1995 might both have had the highest total of flat out loving awful drivers of any seasons in F1 history.

I'd rather forget both those races ever happened, personally.

E: The '99 Euro GP someone mentioned is good, too. Murray and Martin flipping their poo poo when Coulthard spins off is particularly great.

That Larrousse lineup in particular is something special.

Fun fact: Hideki Noda was the only Japanese driver to win a CART event of any kind (Lights race at Portland in '97), and I think the only Japanese driver to win an AOW race before Sato won Long Beach last year.

Taki Inoue

Dear God, this guy. His bio on F1 Rejects should be required reading. People give guys like Yuji Ide poo poo for how bad he was in F1, but at least he and most others were quite good in other formulae. Taki was poo poo in EVERYTHING.

Varsha, Hobbs, and John Bisignano were the usual ESPN guys when they covered F1.

CBS (I think--may have been Fox or even both) also covered a few races a year in the mid '00s, usually with Ralph Sheheen on commentary.

I suggested it and even posted during the race that I eventually felt bad for doing so.

I actually watched some, and then was so intregued I downloaded some NHRA and IHRA games and they were worse than hitler teribad. I was hoping it would be like Sprint Cars / Dirt Track Racing in general where it is a niche audience but with really great games. (RIP Ratbag :smith:)

Bethesda made a pretty fun sportsman-class drag racing game for the PC in the late '90s, but most drag racing games are gutter trash.
