- Jim Guthrie pulls off the impossible winning his only career Indycar race. This is race #2 of 1997 but actually race #4 of the 1996-1997 IRL Season. 1998 season champion Kenny Brack makes his first career start here. Sam Schmidt has a scary late race crash that actually breaks the turn 4 wall.
That's my uncle. Fuck yeah.
Thank you oh so much for this! I love the old IRL races from 1997-1999!
Awesome to hear. Since pretty much all the CART races from the late '90s are uploaded, it'd be awesome to see more IRL races uploaded. Thanks again for all the great races!
Italian magazine Autosprint gave an incorrect report of the accident, talking about "A collision between Buhl, Schroeder and Goodyear" while instead Goodyear accused mechanical troubles, Schroeder hit the wall by himself and Buhl collided with Schmidt. Buhl avoided the impact with the wall but the engine packed up, Schmidt resumed but later shunted again.
Yet another race that isn't already on RUclips! Very cool! Would you happen to have the 1998 race?
1:15:51 - "Look at the back...right there in the front." Page, Paul.
@Legomanfan66 Phoenix was actually built in 1964 for the Indy Cars. Nascar didn't start running there till the late 80's.
Up until 2005, Indy Cars had been racing at Phoenix since the 1960s.
0:28:50 John Paul jr's car was reproduced in 1/24 scale by Bburago in that year...And now, I've the desire to buy one!!!
Let's say he's experimenting specific areas; and well, he is young!
Guthrie's only career IndyCar race? Nope, he had 15 starts and this wasn't his first. The only drivers to win on their IRL debuts were Buzz Calkins, Juan Pablo Montoya (who DID win in his only start), Scott Dixon, and Graham Rahal. The last three deserve asterisks because they all had CART or CCWS starts before that. Calkins was the only driver to win in his top-level debut, and Nigel Mansell was the only driver to do that in CART (I'm not counting Johncock's win in the first CART race.)
Thanks for posting but please don't tell us who won!!!!!
I didn't mean this was the only race he ever ran, I meant this was the only race he ever won.
Jim Guthrie wins one for the little guys of the world! I wonder what he is up to now? I know his wife was dealing with some serious health issues around that time and his son eventually started racing, but I haven't heard anything else about him lately.
My grandfather Ed Rachanski owned the team @ this particular time
its awsome hearing the v8s from back then
Assisti no Brasil pela Rede Bandeirantes essa Corrida Da IRL Indy Racing League em Phoenix vitoria do Jim Guthrie e Tony Stewart em Segundo esse Carro do Tony Stewart da Menard e Lindo ...e tinha 4 Sul Americanos 2 Brasileiros Marco Greco (lagartixa) e Affonso Giaffone Neto e o Chileno Eliseo Salazar e o Colombiano Roberto Guerrero .. E eu passei a acompanhar a IRL pela Rede Bandeirantes no Brasil
yeah I think they are trying hard to get back there. Trying to make it the first race of the year.
Damn, these cars looked horrible & the sound even was worse. Who’s brilliant scheme was this, Ronald McDonald’s????
Oh, once in 1996 called Davey Hamilton..."Bobby"...
I like KABC-TV.
@dot350 According to my list of races I do, now it's a matter of actually finding the VHS tape.
0:34:25 Schroeder almost caused my favorite Irl driver, Hamilton, to remain without feet in 2001. But already in 1997 was a true troublemaker
is Sean Guthrie wanting to race IndyCars again?
45:35 ... 4th car in line, Schmidt I think, gets waaaaay sideways there.
28:52 I am gonna get the OFFICIAL replica of John Paul Jr. SINGLE SEATER MADE BY BBURAGO!! Ok...the shell is a Williams F1 but it is way identical to Irl single seater of jpj. And the decals are perfectly identical
Taken! And put on my best shelf. Paul Jr Dallara was not so efficient, but had such a look...
Naturally aspirated engines super slow. One reason IRL was not as popular as CART.
48:13 Paul Page calls Jeret Schroeder Kenny Schrader... Does he have NASCAR on the brain or Kenny Brack?
I miss the old IRL. Maybe it didn't have the big-name drivers that CART did but the races were much more competitive and exciting. You didn't know who was going to win before each race. The IRL today (which is basically a reincarnated version of CART) has all the sponteneity of a professional wrestling match. I hope things change soon.
I do not, sorry.
Another big lie about the IRL: the new formula will save the teams money. Aside from the cost of having to pay for these new cars they didn't already have, just 10 of the 22 cars were still running at 3/4 distance, with John Paul Jr. 21 laps behind. How can a series of races filled with such attrition be a money saver?
The match to take down the CART bastages continues
Looks like at that time instead of taking out CART it literally took out the Indy 500.
