1976 Phoenix 150 USAC indy car Championship Trail

[TheAntihero6212]

Is this the championship where Johncock refused to put the traditional #1 on the car for the following year because he considered it bad luck? I can see his point. In the CART era, only three drivers ever won back-to-back point titles; Mears 1981-1982, Rahal 1986-1987, Zanardi 1997-1998(?).

I remember seeing Gordy and Mario wheel to wheel for about 10 laps at Texas in 1978. I'd love to see that clip.

I remember that race well. Rutherford had only to finish 11th if Gordy finished second and the title would be his. Didn't work out that way as we all know. As they say, "That's racing!"

I love the comment about the "New" Cosworth engine from England. Love these old race videos.

Thanks for posting this! Of course I love the old Indy 500 films, but it's kinda rare to be able to see old non-Indy races... If you have more of 'em, please post them. =)
