CART 1994 - MID OHIO - ROUND 11

[@Ernieorbert]

I was working for one of the CART teams and remember this race for a number of reasons. I cannot believe how good these cars still look today. Thank you IRL for doing little to nothing for open-wheel racing in North America.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

This was peak Indycar, and would come undone in just a few years

[@PeterMayer]

Cart rocked! Great times in the 90s!

[@weallfollowmanutd]

How good was this era of Indycar. Seriously competitive and beautiful cars. Perfect track also. Robby Gordon was very fast in that Lola, pretty close to Nigel.

The seeds of the IRL / CART split are revealed - Tony George changed the engine rules twice on The Captain....?

[@mikehergenroether6160]

This course and Road America are great.

[@PeterMayer]

Although I was disappointed in Mid-Ohio last year when we went to the imsa race. It's getting long in the tooth. Wrote America has constantly made upgrades. Mid Ohio has not. Hasn't changed much since the late 90s.

[@PeterMayer]

Packed! Indy Car doesn't pack em in like this. We were up at the keyhole.

[@BryonLape]

+Peter Mayer Yeah. Hard to believe those were the glory days.

[@schoolcraftT]

I was in the entrance to Madness and at the carousel in 1997

[@epistte]

I was there on Friday and Saturday but I didnt leave the paddock much.

[@ohiopower]

They were pretty good in the late 2000s when they joined up with the ALMS

[@asianoramaagain2269]

We were sitting on top of our motor home on the backstretch and I could have SWORN Al Jr. passed Tracy for the lead right in front of us.But 26 years have dimmed my memory,I guess.I do not remember the black flag.

[@bluemoon95]

Great racing all down through the field. The crowd on the hill side was standing up when a pass was about to happen. I got a kick out of that because they were paying attention to the race.

[@Hackenbaker]

Very enjoyable race, a lot of action in all places.

[@PeterMayer]

my friend Tod and I spent the whole race at the keyhole. that was the last time we hung out there because it's a million miles away from everything else. We started to go into the north entrance and get into the woods on the outside of the track by the esses. remember the Trans Am race was earlier too. I think Scott sharp won it. and I remember the end of the cart race, all three Penske did a photo op side-by-side

[@douglasgantt9548]

A shame PTracy didn’t have better success at Penske. He could’ve been a franchise driver, but 7 years was a good run at any team.

[@PeterMayer]

Look how packed it is! IndyCar the last few years have drawn decent crowds, but nothing like this!

[@taylorsmith9629]

Paul Page is to Indycar as Jim Ross is to pro wrestling. No commentator can replace him.

[@PeterMayer]

We were there but stayed at the keyhole the whole race. We don't do that anymore for haven't done that since

[@paulfrede7179]

The good old days.

[@chunder27]

Can someone explain to me why Rahal's Honda engine sounds so weird? A totally different sound to the other types, was he even using Honda here I know he dumped the project year end,

[@charlesm.9858]

I have been watching Honda from F1 and when they went to Indycars...unfortunately for Bobby he would later regret leaving Honda afterwards but to answer your question it was the designed Honda went with that engine which made it sound different, but in later years it would not only sound like everyone elses..it blew them all away eventually.

[@mudddge]

Like Bobby Unser said in the telecast, it's the firing order

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

Robby Gordon's car only had 5 gears? WTMF??????

[@weallfollowmanutd]

These engines had so much torque anyway. Didn't really matter. To put it in perspective, 3.5L normally aspirated F1 cars had around 300nm of torque at absolute max. 2.65 litre V8 turbocharged Indycar engines had around 500nm of torque.

[@jesseemullen]

8:31 If Scott Goodyear was commenting on his own accident "ok, we see here he's about three inches deep into the gravel trap. He's now going to try and spin the wheels, but the car doesn't budge. He motions to the safety crew to give him a push." 🤣🤣🤣 (I kid, but it's so annoying when he does that on TV. 💀💀💀)

[@jesseemullen]

I love how none of the commentators can pronounce "Reynard" properly, even though it's only two syllables 🤣💀.

[@義朗青木]

ペンスキーって、四台出場ですか？🤔🤔

[@jpstephens8477]

Tracy got screwed!

[@tedzehnder961]

I liked this era where they didn`t go full course yellow at the drop of a hat.It ruins the racing for me especially when one driver goes off the circuit all by himself and deserves to go a lap down. .Now, half the races end up at pace car speeds.

[@MattDaugherty-ws4ut]

The penske cars were the dominated force the Mercedes Benz engine were just running away with it all year 95 they fell off like fail to qualify at the 1995 Indianapolis 500

[@kennethkilleen8758]

Too many cars on the track
