I enjoyed that! Surfers Paradise in a week or two?

Thanks for organising this, I'm looking forward to the next race.

[Peat]

Thanks for this. I really needed 90 minutes of escapism.

Even tho I missed the race, I did tape it on my VHS recorder. So I will watch it later on.

In all seriousness, this is a very good idea. It seems like you guys had loads of fun!

[Loosenut]

I joined late.

I miss the sound of Paul Page, great commentator. He sounds like Kermit's dad doesn't he?

[red stick]

Good fun. Thanks Risil.

 

Yes.  A Chalice of Excellence^TM is definitely in order.

Variable pronunciations of a fairly straightforwardly named scion of a beloved racing family, which should have been familiar to all, will take you far.

That was forever a source of mirth with JV

When I worked for Edelman PR his press liaison would always take any interviewer or journo aside and run them through the phonetics of how to say his name properly.

This was lots of fun. We’ll definitely have to do it again before May.

As a favor to all my internet friends and acquaintances, my new policy on IndyCar threads is as follows:

 

1.  See thread.

2.  Rate it 5 stars.

3.  Not worry about accidentally hitting the rating button while I'm aiming for a return to Racing Comments on my phone.

 

Extreme?  Perhaps.  But we can bask in the knowledge that if a discussion thread is downgraded, it probably is PT.

I went to watch my recording this morning. Someone's taped an episode of bloody Coronation Street over the last 20 laps!

(Glad you all had fun! Will join in next time.)

Why can’t you just watch it on youtube?

[Ross Stonefeld]

Recording errors are correct for the period.

Belated thanks, Risil! A race worth watching, and a great win by Vile Nerve.

 

Loved watching marshals throwing aside tyres to see if anyone's under them; and gesticulating helplessly through the wire fence at a stranded driver.

I've not been to Miami (I've played GTA: Vice City a lot though) but I think Bicentennial Park is only a few blocks north of Bayfront Park, which is also where F1 is trying to hold a Grand Prix. Tamiami is a suburb at the edge of the city.

This is the circuit that IMSA GTPs used from the mid 80s to the early 90s. It's a bit of an oddball in Indycar history because racing in Miami switched to the Homestead oval the next year.

 

There wasno GTA back in 1995 Lets keep things on topic :-)

Dude... Indycar thread.

I watched these races from the CART era but cant remember who won any of them, except the obvious ones eg Laguna seca 96

Belated thanks, Risil! A race worth watching, and a great win by Vile Nerve.

From memory (and without spoilers!) there's only one snorer in the whole 1995 season. And two all-time classics.
