Really the end of an era here. The last time Team Penske would race in a CART/ChampCar event, the last time Patrick Racing would be frontrunners, the last CART race for Gugelmin, Gidley, Herta, de Ferran, Castroneves and Papis (I think?).
This race had the best Hanford device setup. They punched a massive hole in the air and they were running 3-4 wide at times, safely... Hopefully IndyCar can produce a fantastic 500 mile race here in a couple of weeks! If they can have over 30 lead changes at Indianapolis, then a wide open, sweeping 2 mile oval can produce about 50 or 60.
Loving the engine noise here. Champ Car engines late 90s-early 2000s had some of the best sounds. :)
Thanks for posting. I was there. It was so hazy you couldn't see the cars over in turn two from turn four.
HAHA all those CART the series of legends. Wish I could go back in time just for CART in the late 90's early 2000's.

My brother and i were at this race, so hazy could not see the cars on the far side of the track. Great race it was!!!!
That's so true. I glad we're getting Fontana back, but still wish CART was still alive.
thank you very much for posting this video. thought i would never see it.
