What's up with the engine sounds? Doesn't sound like modern IRL at all but looks identical. Different engine formula/constructor at the time? Or still honda's and just my ears?
@quasiphatpaul Neither are what they are currently running, the current chassis/engine has been used since 2003, this is why 2012 formula change is so important. Dallara was still a constructor back then though, they had a couple different chassis and engine manufacturers like Riley and Oldsmobile
@quasiphatpaul I think they were still using 4 liter NA engines at the time. Eddie Cheever had an Infiniti engine, everyone else had an Oldsmobile engine. I'm not sure of the ratio of Dallara to G-Force chassis, but you can probably find that on racing-reference (dot) info.
I miss the old crazy IRL :(

why did they stop racing at Dover? This was by far the most challenging oval they went to.... and the most fun to watch.

@33kalam I blame people for being too dumb to go to the race lol this race was awesome!

the seats on the banking turns and the first 15 rows on the front straightaway is completely empty

@33kalam That may have been as a result of the crash at Lowes that saw debris go into the stands and kill 3 spectators

So Sprint/Nextel used to sponsor Mauricio Gugelmin in CART, and the IRL rookie title, and then bolted for tin-tops?
Is this the planet Earth? Vince Welch actually sounds competent!
