Hey, wasn't that the year of the big break-up, between USAC and that upstart CART series?!
 Sorry, but I just had to get that in there!

I was -6 years old there. So I can't really comment, only what I read here and in CART's Official History, written by Rick Shaffer.

I was 10 when Rick Mears won his first taste of milk.
I didn't follow the CART series much before 92, but I hadn't missed Indy on TV since 76 or 77. Up until recently, that is. I've also got the Autocourse book to which Jordi refers, and it's excellent. The photography is fantastic. |
