On Thursday I think it was, the track was wet and no one was out so they showed some old clips. Bobby Unser and Johnny Rutherford were guests in the booth. What I gather from their comments is what we probably knew already. It took major stones to drive a 60's and 70's USAC Indy car.
Bobby wants INDY CAR (IRL) to race a couple of dirt tracks. I'm pretty sure he meant wingless too like in a Silver Crown car.
I don't know if the new car is the way to go. Certainly what they drive now (the Dalara) is a truck compared to F1. Bobby and Johnny assert that the former Champ Cars were far more sophisticated. Can you imagine if that series were still running and the ensuing developments were unchecked?
I say think about that and take off some more wing and you'd have yourself a real race.
A race that would take major stones to drive in.
