I actually attended this race with my parents, we sat in Shoreline Drive's outer grandstand just across from the exit from pitlane, Mario Andretti dominates once again for his 4th overall win at Long Beach! 8-)

@dinohiro1 I think CART was still great till 2001. Even without Indy 500. But then Penske (or his sponsor`s) decision to go to IRL, that`s paradox I can`t understand.

Remember the CART series in this era paid alot of money for an event win.

@weallfollowmanutd Jackie Stewart, arguably the best racing brain EVER, not too shabby at commentating either :)
-
God, if the IRL would've taken the Panoz/Cosworth cars, I'd might go.

Bobby Rahal was underrated, even with his many Indycar titles. He had an excellent racing brain. I cannot stand Jackie Stewart in this video lol. His voice is so annoying.

Ah, the Long Beach GP. . .80's Indycar style. . .Good times. . . :-)
Back when there were different chassis/engine combos. . .TURBOS X-D Manual shifting. . .A drivers true race car.
None of these homologated cars, all powered with Honda engines with weak power output. . .mated with a "Power to pass/overtake" button -_-

Watching this video & others like the 93 Surfers race, IndyCar was truly WORLD-CLASS racing. Heck even 3 time F1 champion Stewart was color commentator. Then it all fell apart in 96 and since then no reigning, past or future F1 champion has bothered racing here. Today Tony George is now nothing but a car owner and IndyCar is a shell of what it was. It will take a long time to get back to where we were "pre split". What a sad sad joke!!

You're right Peter. We only go on Saturday's now.
That's boring. CART/Champcars looked better, had far, far better performance and sounded better. I won't go to a IRL race until they are at CART specs again.

1996-2001 CART still was great series (if not being exclusively Indy500 fan), but what happened later - that`s even "sadder" joke - inferior IRL took over :(
