    Man, I miss those cars like the PC-20, and Rick Mears!

    Bobby and Sam so busy trying to out do each other describing how great Michael’s pass they didn’t even see Mears was about to pass Andretti.

      The verbal fellatio on Andretti's pass was funny. They were gaga over it, I thought Rick's pass was slightly better. Rick was the man.

    My all time favorite race ending. Even given the pass on the next to last restart, Andretti had nothing with which to challenge Mears at the conclusion of the race. Mears had improved his car all day, and had it perfect at the end. But that double exchange of the lead was the most exciting racing I had ever seen. I was sitting just at the entrance of turn 1, in grandstand B.

    This 500 confirmed Rick Mears status as one of, if not the greatest Indy 500 champion of them all. No doubt that Rick would've won at least one more if the mounting injuries hadn't begun to take their toll and forced his retirement after the '92 season.

      I'm an And retro guy from way back, my eyes tell me Rick sits atop the MT if were talking Indy & I don't care what happens going forward. The competition was amazing,you still had all the big names from the 60s running well & young drivers that wanted to leave their mark.And Rocket retired w/ gas left in the tank.

      Mears is the greatest Indianapolis 500 driver ever. Clean, fast and respected. He only ever crashed out of the race once.

    Back when The 500 was still an exciting event to experience live. The irl truly messed this place up - it is a shame.

      Quit pretending the past was better, simply because you experienced it...

    What better race to sum up the Andretti Curse than this one - Mears won the race with a broken foot

    • @robertwomack1411
      @robertwomack1411 Před 4 měsíci +1

      The curse doesn’t apply here
      Mikey was simply facing a better driver in better equipment

      And he made the pass on top of the skid marks he made a few days before in a crash that could have easily killed him.

    A great champion! I always wondered why the commentators gushed over Michael's move at almost full speed for a whole lap but were speechless after Mears did the same thing a full speed! Fastest T1 entry of the day on that lap, a master class!

      Rick Mears is the best driver ever at Indy he should had won in 1982 if he was just a little more patient he could have gotten by Gordy,remember that was his only 4th 500 and winning at his 2nd try in 1979!

    • @sunnybeech74
      @sunnybeech74 Před 2 měsíci

      If you look closely as he passes Andretti he's leaving a tire mark on the right side of the car. He was totally on the edge!

    Una delle cose più belle é vedere la moglie di Rick tenere i tempi con la tuta.
    Io ho sempre visto mogli e fidanzate, in F1, al massimo, tenere il casco, vestite in borghese.
    Invece, sono sicuro che, una femmina come la Signora Mears, ti dà una grande carica.

    Michael was aggressive,using the strength to win the race,but Mears was much much better than him. Is looks like a boy against a very experience,that knows all the ways of the track,main points,while the other one,came with impulse,anyway. 6:57
