    We were in our seats in '92 when that happened.......a Japanese driver also spun out in the short chute between 3 and 4 on the same parade lap.....
    not defending them, but it had been hot all week and a cold front came through on Saturday, dropping temperatures to near 50 at racetime. Montoya (think I have the name right) obviously didn't compensate for cold tires and additional horsepower, and the Japanese driver didn't learn from the earlier crash................

    Roberto Guerrero was the guy and he was qualified on the pole!

    Kevin Cogan who qualified on the front row of the (I think) '82 500 wiped out Mario Andretti on the pace lap. He also hit AJ Foyt but Foyt was able to race (crappily) his damaged car.
    That which you manifest is before you.
