Irvine passed a whole lot of cars down the main straight.
He would draft close as they passed my seat location
and would get them at 1.
The thing I was thrilled about was the fact that the race was
not a parade with the first car into turn 1 winning the race.
Also I recorded the ABC coverage of the race. The only
accurate part that I could tell was when Eddie Cheever
(total back marker while in F1) told everyone that F1
*IS* the pinnacle of autoracing engineering. Bob Jenkins
and Josh whatever his name is in the pits were totally
clueless. They treated the race like a nascar or irl race.
"Duh, hey we heard that your engine is going to blow up
care to comment?" and running over to get an update on
the blistered tires...
I was shocked that they did have the F1 team radio
comms in the telecast. I guess when Bernie's F1
management does the race you get the cool stuff.
