Discussion 1998 - Cheating accusations between Foyt and Menard

37 Upvotes

There was a lot of controversy in 1998 with Menard accusing Foyt of sandbagging and cheating, getting extra power somewhere. At one point, Menard pulled Robbie Buhl from the series for a few races, which, I can't imagine that happening these days! I recall Rece Davis on ESPN saying "just what the IRL needs, fewer people at its races".

Anyone else remember this happening or have any insider info on this?

The full race replays have been such a blessing. Its so awesome to watch races from the late 80's all the way to 2024. They have genuinely cured a lot of loneliness (specially during the holidays). My father (passed in 2017, he's been watching since the 80s) got me into the sport and racing in general. Ever since I was born I spent every July at Mid-Ohio. Watching all the full races helps me carry his spirit on. A lot has changed since 2017 and im sad he's missing on the new age of Indy. I would just like to say thank you to whoever is uploading the full races. Happy holidays y'all!

I understand the hype around Larson, but it just seems a distant dream.

Discussion Are Indycar parts rare?

31 Upvotes

I was recently scrolling on Facebook marketplace and found the engine cover to a ir-05 indycar for $200 I instantly offered $175 and the guy agreed. I’ve never seen anything like this on anywhere to buy something like this. I am a huge indycar fan so this really works out for me but I was wondering if anyone else had anything similar to this?

People's all agree 1997 Portland, 2000 Michigan, 2009 Chicagoland, 2011 Kentucky, and 2015 Fontana are some of the greatest IndyCar races ever run, but there is never a conclusively answer on what are some of the best Indy Lights/IndyNXT races run.
