Bump Day 1978. Highlighted by Jim Hurtubise running onto the track and trying to disrupt things. Probably featuring the angriest you'd ever see Tom Carnegie.

Wow

Also featuring: the worst VHS rip I've seen in any upload of that race

video of a Indy Lights Pan Americana race from 2000

lol, never saw this pic before:

I'm thinking that photo was taken at Detroit; looks like Christian Fittipaldi was confronting Paul Tracy after he got punted by Tracy during the race.

And that was not the first time those two tangled in 1998:

Always remember Christian walking up to Nicolas Minassian giving him a "round of applause" after tangling at one of the 1 mile ovals in 2001.

Memo Gidley at Road America during the 2001 race. He was completely unhurt but it's one of the worst looking crashes in CART history for sure:






It's a shame he didn't get more chances in CART...he was really fast.

Not sure he was completely unhurt, I believe he had a broken femur?

He broke his arm IIRC.

There was debate at the time (since the TV cameras didn't catch it except from onboard that cut out pretty much at impact) whether the chasis snapped apart on impact or because the safety team had to cut it to free him

I think this evidence points to the latter

He also got clipped by Dixon. He was very lucky there.

Edit: Found a it was a bone contusion, not a fracture/break otherwise he would have been out for Vancouver 2 weeks later.

Something we never saw much of...

Dario and Paul in 1999 at Houston

IDK why, but i remember this pretty vividly. Sportscenter had incorrectly stated, at first, that he had a broken femur. They corrected themselves later on though.

Just uploaded by IndyCar: CART Mid-Ohio 1986.

Lol at the size of those rear wings.

They are a bit Pikes Peak big aren't they?

If I remember correctly, the CART/USAC rulesmakers took away some of the ground effects tunnels between 1985 and 1986 but had no rule in place regarding endplate size, hence the massive rear wings. That loophole was closed up after the '86 season.
