PPG CART IndyCar World Series
Beatrice Indy Challenge
Tamiami Park
University Park, Florida
November 10, 1985
Well, Champcar4ever has this race UL'ed this race on his channel, but it's a condensed highlights version, so, here it is, the full version of inarguably one of the most exciting, unbelievable, and ultimately one of the most unforgettable American Open-Wheel races of all time. I mean, this race had everything that you could ever want in a great open-wheel race; a first lap crash that took out the majority of the competition, a winner whose only other win that year was at the Indy 500, and, of course, a battle between father and son for the points title, a battle that wasn't settled until the final laps and resulted in the second closest points finish in Champ Car history. And the driver who won the title won it despite only winning ONE RACE. Anyway, for high drama, you won't see any better races than this one.
Enjoy!
Sorry about the quality of the video towards the end; This is NOT my copy.
Is it me, or back in the 1980s, every single intro music to ANYTHING having to do with the city of Miami was a variation on Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme"?
